The speed hack is in the hacks post listed above.

Also, with regards to the MP3's, I believe you can find the required information for doing what you would like to accomplish.

You should be able to use full mp3s as ringtones if you want to. I use a program called Audacity to shorten my mp3s to about 30 second clips. That way I can decide what part of the song I want to use. Just google Audacity, I think there is free version you can download.

I save my full mp3 on my memory card. I save the smaller clipped ringtones in the file manager / my documents / my music. You could probably save them wherever you want, but that is just how I do it.

Ok, Im having an issue with this... no matter file size (mp3) I place on the memory card, the ringer selector see's it right away but it says this file is missing or corrupted... if I move it to the local memory it works fine, any ideas?

I have heard that if you have your MP3 on your card it can't be in a sub folder. Here is a whole thread on MP3 as ringtones.

Hope that helps.

Thanks BP... no the site didnt help much

but thanks! I guess the files got corrupted once I transfered them because I copied one to the PC to play it on it and it didnt play... however I just copied another song to the card, assigned it and I got the same error that the file was not there or corrupted. I reset the phone and it plays fine now off the memory card, the file is 5MB and there was no delay at all.. HOWEVER, it sucks that you can not have the phone on vibrate and audio at the same time or if you have no ring tones by default or vibrate, you can not assign ring tones so you have to have a silly ring tone chosen in order to have any of personalized ones work...

someone also mentioned that if you use full length mp3 because of the size there would be a delay, so far I didnt hear any, I tested like 20 times... file size is 5MB on a Patriot 2GB chip that I got for $22 including shipping from new egg

Loaded songs on it or whatever????? What do you mean whatever? MP3's are songs, and the Q uses a miniSD not a microSD.
