How to Use Your Own MP3 Song As a Ringtone
At one time, you might have downloaded mp3 songs from a file sharing program, or you might have even uploaded your own mp3 songs onto a computer. If the mp3 file is rare, chances are your cell phone company will not offer that song as a ringtone. Fortunately, numerous websites allow you to convert mp3 songs into ringtones. Myxer is a website that lets you turn mp3 songs into ringtones for your phone for free.
