Those of you who are really tech-savy, probably won't need the information contained below. For folks like myself, who stumble through the digital age, it may be helpful.
- In order to utilize these ringtones, you'll need a phone that accepts tones in mp3 format and a data cable to connect your phone to your computer or laptop.
- Download the desired ringtone into your computer by "right-clicking" your mouse on the appropriate link at the top of this page. After right-clicking, choose the "save target as" option from the drop-down menu. Tell your computer which file folder you wish to save it to (my documents, my music, etc), then save it. Now that the ringtone is part of your computer files, simply add it too the active library of your music player (Real Player, Windows Media Player, etc.).
- Once the ringtone is part of your music library, use the data cable to plug your phone into a USB port of your computer. Compatibility probably varies from brand to brand, but my Nokia for example, allows links with either WMP or Real Player. It was a simple process of loading the tone into my phone and then designating it as the phone's current ringtone.
- I'm guessing that these ringtone formats will work with most phones. I trimmed them to a length of 25-30 seconds and encoded them as 128 kbps mp3s. My Nokia accepted all of these file sizes.
