DataPilot?

[eclipse525]

I know this is a long shot but here goes anyway.

I have a LG VX6100 and I recently purchased DataPilot w/USB cable. The purpose was mainly to create my own ringtones and copy them to my phone. The problem is that when I copy over the ringtone file it won't play on the phone.

The spec's on the MP3 file is as follows:

116KB @ 48KBS in mono.

Now, I have written to the company but there support SUCKS. I've tried nut they just don't respond.

I would appreciate it if anyone can give some guidence.

Thanks!

You apparently have to change the file's .mp3 extension to .mid

Apparently some carriers disable the MP3 ringtone feature, check with your carrier

Thank YOU for the links! Very helpful.

I wound up downloading a FREE application called "BitPim" and it did a great job of transferring my MP3 ringtones to the phone. After some reworking with bitrates, I got the MP3 to play loud enough and they sound GREAT! Can't believe I wasted my money on DataPilot. BitPim, may not look as nice but it works just fine and it's Free to boot.

Thanks again!
