Popular ring tones - Motorola Q Forum

doubleamom · 10-31-2007, 01:12 PM

Does any one know of 3rd party software or a GOOD cheap sight where I can get popular music ringtones like I used to be able to get from "Get it Now". I recently made a switch from a razor to a Q 9m and I am really having ring tone withdrawls.

Just use your own music files -- why buy? I even record some myself.

No, I must have missed that one. I'll read it and see if that helps. It is just a major turn off for me....even though it seems like a minor detail.

Problem with using my own music files on my laptop which I have thousands of is that they are in itunes format and windows media player won't accept them. Maybe I am just music stupid and don't know how to transfer them yet. I have tried to use a file from wmp as a ring tone, but it won't let me pick it. Is there a thread regarding that issue already?

I believe you can still get them on your q9m through get it now, but for a data charge.

All my purchased itunes songs are on my Q and it was very easy getting it there:

1) YOU MUST ELIMINATE PROTECTION FROM THE ITUNES MP4 FILES

The freeware I use to do this is QT Fair Use (latest version is 2.5)

You can get a copy at the following link, but always can google this software name to find another link:

It's very simple - just run the program & then pick & choose any MP4 files you have once the program is installed and it takes you through the process. It's a bit time consuming, but that depends on the amount of files you have.

That should do it for the Q, but if you have another program that only reads MP3's, then eliminating the protection from the MP4 that you get from itunes with QT Fair Use will not do that for you. You will also need to download another software to convert MP4 to MP3.

2) CONVERTING ITUNES MP4 FORMAT TO MP3

You must have done the first described step first - QT eliminates the protection & you won't be able to convert if the protection is still on the file before running it through QT.

I use a Free MP3 Converter that I found through Koyote Soft:

This too is extremely simple and much quicker than eliminating the MP4 protection.

These two major steps - QT Fair Use (eliminate protection) and MP4-MP3 conversion will make your purchased itunes viewable on any system as an unprotected MP3. (simply elminating the protection from the itunes file is enough for me to listen to them all on the Q, and I only converted a few for my car's audio system to MP3.)
