7.5 HOW TO Microsoft Windows Phone

HOW TO add Custom Ringtones on Windows Phone 7.5 “Mango”

Yes, with Windows Phone 7.5 “Mango” is possible.

You need the Zune software installed.

To make a Ringtone, follow these simple requirements:

  • 39 seconds or shorter
  • smaller than 1 MB
  • saved in MP3 or WMA format
  • not copy-protected, DRM free

If you want to cut your audio file I suggest you to use an audio editing software, like freeware Audacity.

Import your audio file into your Zune music collection. In the Zune Collection library, right-click your ringtone file and choose “Edit”.

Custom Ringtone

Under the “Genre” pop-up menu, select or insert value “Ringtone” then click OK to save.

NOTE: “Ring Tone” with a space in the name, not work!!!

Now you can set the file to sync to your device. It will show up in your ringtones menu.
