Tips & Warnings
You need a Zip file program to extract the mpTrim software so it can be accessible on your computer. If you do not have a Zip file extractor, see Resources to obtain one.
To avoid overwriting the full song, do not click the "Save!" action at the top of the screen. This action deletes the full song and replaces it with the new ringtone. Keep ringtones under 25 seconds. Anything longer takes up a lot of storage space on a cell phone.
