By now everyone is well aware of MP3 ringtones,How You Can Go About Creating Your Own MP3 Ringtone Articles and most people have several different kinds on their phone.  However, it is not always easy to find every ringtone you may want, seeing that many ringtones are from the latest songs and most popular.  And if you do find the ringtone you are looking for, it certainly is not cheap.  But what if you could create your own MP3 ringtone?

It is hard to believe, but you had to know that at some point you would be able to create your own ringtones the way technology has been moving.  And the best part about it is that you can create your very own ringtones right from your music library on your computer.  So how do you get started?

First and foremost, you have to make sure that your cell phone is capable of storing MP3 songs.  There is no point in trying if your phone is not capable.  After determining whether you are capable of storing MP3 songs or not, you next have to identify a method to transfer the songs.  This can be done through Bluetooth, a USB cable, or email.

Now that all of the basic essentials are taken care of, it is time to start having some fun.  You can go to your library and select any song you choose to create into a brand new MP3 ringtone.  If you have songs on a certain CD, then transfer it onto your music player that you have.  Otherwise, if you have a library such as Windows Media Player or iTunes you are good to go.

From there, you will want to open up your audio editing software.  If you do not have one, do not fret.  There is a number of free audio editing software that can be downloaded online.  In addition to having audio editing software, you will also want to download a LAME library, which is free as well.

Once you have your LAME library and your audio editing software, its time to create your ringtone.  Open up the song you want to convert with your audio editing software.  From here, you will be able to cut any portion of the song into a ringtone.  Try to aim at 20 seconds or less as most phones do not ring longer than this.  Once you have cut your ringtone, click export to MP3 in the file menu.

After saving your MP3 ringtone as a MP3, your last step is to transfer the song to your phone.  As noted above, you can either do this with Bluetooth, a USB cord or by email.  Give it a couple of minutes and then get ready to save the MP3 as your default ringer.  It is that simple.
