why everyone is so worried about renaming ringtones and all that i am not sure.
But from the one's i have done so far all you need to do is take an MP3, edit it in something like Wavpad down to just what you want, then use Motorola Phone tools to transfer it to the phone. That's it.
You can name it anything you want before you transfer it, It WILL show up with all your other ringtones so you can use it as any of your tones (calls, messages and so on).

What mp3 editor do you use to crop the files?

I use Wavpad, you can get it free at download.com
It is very good for doing ringtones. With Motorola Phone Tools you can only crop the beginning or end which doesn't give you a chance to merge a part from the two places very easily.
Wavpad has a lot more it can do and is free so i use it, then just use MPT to transfer them. And if you plan on using songs from a CD pick up a free audio converter while you are there that can convert WAV to MP3, i can not remember if Wavpad did that or not. For that i use Cheetah

I got this working for a new Verizon RAZR V3m today. I originally had the same problems as some of the other posters here - no sound came from the phone when I set up the ringtone according to the directions. The reason for this, at least in my case, was that the bitrate of the MP3 I wanted to use was too high (320kbps). I don't think the phone would play this bitrate - certainly not as a ringtone. All I ever got was silence until I took the following steps:
1. Download goldwave (www.goldwave.com) version 5.14. This is a great shareware program for manipulating audio. It is so good that I paid for a registered version a few years ago.
2. Open the MP3 file on your computer that you want to use as a ringtone.
3. Highlight the 30 seconds of the MP3 you want to use as the ringtone. Use the Edit->Trim command (or ctrl+t) to trim off the rest of the file.
4. Select File->Save As.
5. Type in a new name for your MP3 (whatever). Make sure the file type is still MP3 but change the Attributes to "Layer-3 ACM, 22050Hz, 80kbps, stereo). Sure, this wont sound that great on your home stereo but it is fine for a ringtone. If you find other combinations that work, please let me know.
6. Hit the save button.
7. Now follow djteva's directions exactly.
This worked for me. I hope it helps you too.

you can use any sound file in MP3 format, or any that can be converted to MP3 like a WAV file.
I use Wav files all the time for startup & shutdown sounds.
Just need to convert them. I like going to the sites that have all the free TV and movie sound bites and using those.

When you say "convert them", do you mean with Motorola Phone Tools? Please explain.
Thanks.

tried it at least 10 times. cant get it to work. maybe the mp3 file i'm using isnt working right? there is no copy protection, i recorded a sound bite right out of Audacity. it is 128kbps, every time i tried i kept getting closer. now i can see 4-5 of my attempts under ringtones when i try to change it for contacts...but when i hit play, it doesnt make any sound. i havent changed any of the names, the file is on my SD card...anything i could still possibly be doing wrong?

Ive tried this several times... both with usb cable and card reader. The problem I run into on my v3m is that in wont allow even recorded msgs to be set as a ringer. So copying the mp3's over and saving as the recorded messages doesnt help at all. If there is a way to set the recorded messages as a ringer that would make everything work fine. Any help would be nice. Thanks.

It should have an adapter if you want to use it in a card reader slot on your computer. If you intend to never remove it from the phone you dont need it. Mine came with the SD adapter

if you want to create and add your own mp3 ringtones to the New Verizon Razr V3m to your phone here is the steps and the programs used to do it.
Motorola PST and P2k Commander V 3.3.0
Go ahead and open up PST then P2k Commander allow it to switch the phone to P2k Mode Once that is done.
Hopefully you have used P2k Commander Prior to this.
Now the fun will begin go ahead and copy all the mp3's you want to have as ringtones. You will have to copy them into the Motorola | Shared | Audio folder of the phone.
After you have copied all them over to the phone you will need to delete two files from the phone.
Find and delete TmpTneDB.db and MyToneDB.db
Now unconnect the phone and restart it. After this is done you will now beable to set those Mp3's as ringtones if you want to add more just redo the steps above.
I hope this helps

sorry, not been here in a while.
To convert them all you need is any free program that will convert audio files, like Cheetah is the one i use. and i am pretty sure you can set the bitrate you want when you convert it. If not i think Wavpad can when you edit the MP3 to make a ringtone.
It will convert a wav file to MP3 in a matter or seconds and can convert whole batches of them for you very quickly.
Then you just load it into an editor like Wavpad and make what you want from it, then do a "save as" and save it.
Now it is ready for you to load into Motorola Phone Tools so you can transfer it to the phone's correct folder.
Then restart the phone and it should be there and ready to use.
You can hook the phone to the computer and use it like a modem and connect to the internet, if that feature is available on your plan. Mine is pay per use so i can use the internet right from the phone and buy ringtones and such. Plus most sites send them to your phone and bill you on your phone bill.
But since you can make your own ringtones, screens and skins i do not see why you would want to do this.

I just recently bought a Mortorola v3m the other day as well as a microSD card. I've had no luck so far. For some reason I can set my voice as a ringtone by using the record feature and saving it via phone...but anything I move to the microSD or record to the microSD only allows me to rename and move not set as a ringtone or ring id. I think it has something to do with the software version on the phone...because I can see where it would work...but my phone does not allow me to set anything on the microSD as a ringtone.
I'd appreciate some input!
