Lumia smartphones have a fairly wide range of pre-installed sound files that can be used as ringtones and other notifications. Along with this, standard ringtones quickly get boring and you still want to put some of your own songs on an incoming call. After reviewing the information below, you will learn how to do this.
Instructions for setting a ringtone for a Lumiya call
This guide is suitable for all current versions of Windows Phone. To work you will need a smartphone, a USB cable and a computer/laptop.The procedure is as follows.
You connect your smartphone to your computer via a USB cable. Go to My Computer, open Windows Phone.
Go to Phone.
Open the Ringtones folder.
Important note! Open those folders that are in the phone's memory - similar actions regarding the memory card will not give the expected effect.
Copy the future ringtone to the folder opened in the previous step.
The file must meet the following requirements:
be known to the Lumia smartphone, i.e. playable without using third-party players (ringtones in WMA and MP3 format are optimal);
be less than 30 MB in size;
not be under DRM protection.
You can disconnect your smartphone from your computer.
Go to the Settings section of your Lumia, open the Personalization menu, and from there go to the Sounds category (for Windows Phone 10, in the case of earlier versions of the OS you need to go to Settings/Ringtones+Sounds).
Below the “Ringtone” text there is an empty field. Click on it. You will see that the list of standard ringtones has been supplemented with the previously downloaded melody. All you have to do is select it, and you're done!
If necessary, you can trim the melody directly from your smartphone. Owners of Lumia on Windows Phone 10 can do this using the pre-installed Ringtone Maker application. The same application will help Windows Phone 8.1 users, but it must first be installed from the branded Market.
It's not as difficult as it seems at the beginning. For this procedure, we need a program for cutting music, a Zune, a USB cable and, of course, a phone.
OK. Let's go.
It is not necessary to install complex programs for working with sound and sweat over them for many hours. Now everything is simple. You can use websites that specialize in cutting tracks. I recommend the site http://www.mp3cut.ru/prog_spilt_onln
It is the simplest, most beautiful and laconic. Music is cut on it in three clicks. Trimming my track took me 30 seconds.
Remember that in order to install a ringtone, the mp3 file must be less than 1 MB. and no longer than 30 seconds.
And so, we have a ringtone. Launch Zune and add a ringtone to the collection. We find it in the collection.
Right-click on it and select Edit.
The song details window opens. Add the inscription “ringtone” to the name (optional). Further. Be sure to change the genre to "Ringtone". If it's not in the list, just enter "Ringtone". Save. Reset the track to your phone.
Go to settings - ringtones + sounds - ringtone. The first item in the list will be “Customizable” and if you did everything correctly, our ringtone will be displayed there. That's all!

How to change ringtone on windows phone using the created melody
If you don’t like the finished composition, you can learn how to change the ringtone on a Windows phone using a track created on a computer from the following instructions:
Of course, you can use a special program to trim tracks, but the quality of such a melody will most likely be low. And using the method described above, the owner of the gadget will receive a high-quality unique track that he can install on an incoming call. If necessary, it can be replaced using the same instructions.
Smartphones running Windows Phone 7.5 have a bunch of standard ringtones, but it’s much nicer to listen to your favorite track as an incoming call, wouldn’t you agree? You can set your own ringtone on Nokia Lumia, Samsung Omnia and other WP solutions, but you can’t do it without some hints. In this material we will tell you step by step how to do this.
1. You need to select a composition and trim it so that the final file satisfies Microsoft's stupid restrictions. Any audio editor is suitable for editing. I used the freely available Audacity(). Surely you will need the LAME codec, it is .
You need to add the desired track via File – Open...;
Select the desired piece lasting no more than 39 seconds (the easiest way is by seconds at the bottom), and then select File - Export selection... Properties: MP3, 192 kbps, constant bit rate.
An important condition for a ringtone is that it should not weigh more than 1 MB and should be DRM-free.
When saving, the program will prompt you to make changes to the tags. In the genre column, be sure to enter RINGTONE (this can be done in the properties by right-clicking or in the Zune itself).
2. If the file is not yet in Zune, now is the time to drag it there. It will be added to the collection, from where it must be moved to the smartphone icon in the lower left part (the phone must be connected to the PC). Synchronization will occur.
3. The ringtone will appear on the phone along the following path: Settings – Ringtones + sounds – Ringtone – Customizable. All:)
It must be said that the Marketplace has several applications that allow you to make a ringtone directly on your smartphone, but they are paid. There is, for example, “Ringtones” - a good program that allows you to download music from VKontakte, Skydrive, Dropbox and SoundCloud. I won’t say that it makes it much easier to manage the ringtone, but it can be used as an alternative. There are also programs with already cut melodies, but, unfortunately, the choice there is limited only to popular tracks.
How to put music on SMS in Nokia Lumia? Actually, this is exactly the question many users ask me. Therefore, I decided to write a full-fledged instruction, which in turn will allow you and your friends to do it yourself.
First of all, I would like to emphasize that these instructions for installing a melody on SMS are only compatible with devices running the latest version of the operating system, that is Windows Phone 8.1. Therefore, if your smartphone runs on a previous version - 8, in this case, this article is not suitable for you, since there is a slightly different way to set the melody.
So, let's transgress. The principle of setting a melody is quite simple, and it is similar to setting your own ringtone music in WP smartphones.
1) Initially, you will need to find an application called “Melody Creator” in the phone menu. If this application does not exist (although this is unlikely), then you will need to download it from the application store and only then proceed to the second point.
2) Go to the application and click “select song”.
3) Find a song that we want to use as a melody for incoming messages.
4) Next, you will need to select the section of the track that you want to hear as a melody in SMS messages, and click save. Thanks to the developers from NOKIA for saving us from the unnecessary hassle of cutting music on the computer.
5) The melody has been created. The main thing is not to click set as a ringtone, since you are going to set it for SMS.
6) Now go to settings again and find the “notifications + actions” item.
7) Scroll to the very bottom and find “Messages”.
8) Here we will see several options, including the “Notification Sound” drop-down menu. Click on “default”.
