The users manual and help functionality in the MyCentro app on the phone are really quite useful and explain pretty well how to get ringtones onto the phone (many different methods). Many more options if you have a MicroSD card installed.

Just realized you said you had songs on the phone. Are you wanting them as ringtones? If they are MP3's on your MicroSD card you can use an app called Minitones to edit them and use them as ringtones.

When I got the 700p, and then the Centro, I had specific things I wanted for ringtones for different people, so I used a program called Audacity (Google it) to pull in the mp3 or wav I wanted and then trimmed it down to what I wanted and exported the result as a wav file to be emailed/synced/carded to my phone.

Centro MP3 Ringtones with no MicroSD or data connection!

Ok, it took me a bit to figure this out, but here's how I've been able to get MP3 files into my 'Sounds' list without using a microSD card (which I just haven't managed to buy yet), or having to download directly via a data connection (which isn't cost justifiable to me right at the moment).

So here's how I do it. I use bluetooth to send an MP3 file to my Centro. I am then asked if I want to "Save" or "Save and Play". I just save, and I use a real short file name.

Then fire up blazer and navigate the the following url: file:///BUILTIN/Music/filenameyousavedpreviously (this is where that short filename comes in handy). In addition to the normal 'save/play/cancel' options, there is a 'Copy to Ringtone' option. Now you can get descriptive with the filename as this is what will show up in your 'Sounds' manager. After a 'ok' or two, you've got an MP3 ringtone.

Now in actuality, you have two copies of that file on your phone. I usually go into Filez at this point (select the Preferences option to 'Show Hidden Volumes'), navigate to /BUILTIN/Music and delete original file I received via bluetooth (the short filename). This has no negative effect on the file in your Sounds list.

When you do get your card, you can use that same approach but point Blazer to the card

THanks. I found a different approach, however. I discovered that, in addition to MIDIs, the Sounds app can recognize some WAV files. Saving the WAV sound as a PCM 22050 Hz 16 bit stereo has worked for my Treo 755P and I believe should also work on a centro.

ANd best of all, you don't need any special software neither on your pc nor on the device itself. All you have to do is open your mp3 or wma file in windows media player (or whatever you use on your pc). Then open the windows sound recorder (also available on all windows pc's), change the format to the one I described above, and then record the part of your original mp3 you'd like to use as a ringer and save it (and here I would stick to the short file name suggestion from tivolutionist). Make sure not to record more than 15-20 seconds (file size is about 2-3MB for a file that long). Then just transfer the file to your Treo or Centro and that's it. Just make sure you select the "save and open" option when you accept the file into your device, that way "sounds" will iimediately add it to the list.

I've made a couple of ringers this way and, save the file size, they work excellent. Now all I have to figure out is how to make sounds open files stored in an expansion card, where we have lots of more room to save them.
