Hi Kait, I think you have mp3’s from Limewire right? You added a Micro SD card in the back of the phone by the battery, right? You also need a SD-micro reader/adapter and dump the mp3’s in your MUSIC folder on the storage card. Put it back in the phone, then on the phone, go to GET IT NOW, press 1-Music and Tones, press 4-My Music, and select 4-songs and VOILA!!!!!
Just saw on NEWEGG.com a great deal for an internal multi reader, only 10 bucks!

I found a way to use a USB cable to send ringtones to your KRZR phones. I have Verizon too and this worked for me. I can’t remember the website I found this on but I will try to guide you through. All ringtones have to be less than 20 seconds. I used Audacity to create 20 second MP3’s. Works and sounds great. Download the MSU (microsoft software update). connect your Krzr to your PC via a mini usb connector. Run the MSU, it’s ok if it says it has most current version. I’ve never had to update the software. It just says to do it. connect to your KRZR via windows explorer. You have to delete the DB tones from the 1st menu. then navigate to applications then sounds folder. I can’t remember the exact path. When in sounds folder you can import any 20 second MP3 you wish as a ringtone. Once it works, I recommend getting all the ringtones you want imported all at once. If you do one song and then set a contacts ringtone, the next time you import a ringtone, the contact ringtone will sometimes change that you already had set. I think it has something to do with the order of the songs in the catalog. Once all your songs are imported to this folder (and you can delete the standard weird tones that verizon puts in there). Power down the phone and restart. It will update your software automatically and the DB tones will be back in there. All ringtones should be easily set to your contacts and regular ringtone. I am going to actually try the procedure tonight as I haven’t done it in a while. I’ll post an update if any procedure is different.

EDIT: Updating my last post. I misspoke a few things. Don’t use windows explorer. Download and use the P2K commander. And MSU is Motorola Software Update. The P2K commander window has 2 sides. Navigate using the right window. All the rest is the same. There is also a settings option for all ringtones. Set them as master.

EDIT: I think this will be final update. On P2K Commander. Path for folder to put your 20 second mp3’s. a/motorola/shared/ringtone. And the settings for all your mp3’s is under the attributes button (system, survive master reset/clear option.)

I’m in the same boat as “Rbranha2″. I have the KRZR KM1 but can’t seem to get the sounds from my card to become a my ringtone. Help!!!

Dirt says

For my KRZR with Verizon I used the info on:
http://aznuwee.googlepages.com/
It worked like a charm. I added ringtones even larger than 60 seconds.
Note: Change the ‘mp3′ extension to ‘mid’ and then the ringtones can be set to individual contacts and the default ringtone doesn’t get substituted in.

i just got my KRZR K1 yesterday. my wireless provider is Rogers (i live in Canada). i’m assuming i have to buy a micro sd card in order to upload music so i’m ok with that. what i wanted to know is if all krzrs have the touch-sensitive music play buttons on the front because i can’t see mine. i can see the charge icon and the bluetooth icon above the mini display but i can’t see the music buttons. any help?

Harry says

Reply to Habiba:
When you buy a micro sd card, it usually comes with a regular sd adapter into which the micro fits. This then is placed in a sd reader/writer which is plugged into your usb port. Also, I believe the K1 does not have external touch controls for the player. The K1m Krzr provided by verison, alltel, Telus and Bell have the external controls. Also, look at your manual and find directions to turn off the blue tooth. If the blue tooth icon shows, it must be enabled. If you are not using blue tooth accessories etc. turn it off. It is a big energy sapper.

gosh! i freakin BOUGHT yan krzr because i thought, like the razor for verizon it could record a sound and play it as a ringtone, but NOOOO! i buy my family a family plan, and i get jipped! on the internet i got this deal where if i got this fone they could all get razors of their choice, and i thought mine would be like theirs, same features, just smaller and better.
but heck no! my family has those features! BUT MINE DOESNT!
if they are going to strip one fone, STRIP THEM ALL! this is just not fair, and i was lead to believe it was a verizon feature on all of their phones, not just razorz! as you can tell, i’m very upset about verizon’s stupidity to make that move.
i mean i totally understand them not wanting us to get ringtones for free, but if you take it from one phone, take it from them all, because friends talk to friends and it makes it seem as if verizon has a great fone deal. which it DOESNT!

Zach,
I posted a similar query a few days ago except I do have some songs on it already that plays with both the MP3 Player and the sound player. I added a ripped album to the sandisk micro sd but my phone couldn’t detect them. I looked at the files and found them to be not Mpeg 3s but some windows media player format. I reripped them using Itunes (you can specify what the format is and what the bit rate is) My mp3 player still won’t play them but the sound player detects them and plays them. Apparently you can use the windows media player and specify the rip format also. I found out at the following url http://mp3.about.com/od/ripandburncds/ss/cd_to_mp3_2.htm
I hope this helps.

I just recently purchased the LG chocolate phone. With the phone, i bought the memory card, and the blue tooth thing so that my phone could connect to the computer. All of my music is on Windows media player and i was wondering how the heck i can get that music ONTO MY DAM PHONE. Ive been trying for a couple weeks now with no luck. Please help…..

PLUREZCA says

Hi, i need your help!!! i transfer a song to my KRZR, but i tranfer the song to the phone not to the memory card, now i am running out of memory and i can’t delete it!!!!

Kim says

I just purchased a krzr today. I’ve got all my ringtones onto my phone quite easily, but when I set a Ringer ID to a contact, it uses the ringer as a text message alert for that contact also. Is there any I can set individual ringtones for my contacts and not have it override the default text message alert?
