On Galaxy S3 how to set an MP3 to ringtone

First Option

• Plug your phone into your PC via USB
• Open your computer and browse to your mobile device
• Copy the MP3 file of your choice into the “Ring Tones” Folder
• On your phone, go to Settings > Sound > Phone Ring Tone and you should see your MP3 file there. Choose it and it’ll be set as your standard ringtone from now on.

Of note: there are some apps as well that will “cut” a portion of a song so that you can use it as an MP3 and note have to have to use the entire thing. (Useful for those 6 minute long songs).

Second Option

Use a media player (other than the default one that comes with your device) that allows the option to set ringtones on the go. Check out the options for each one, but most of them just require a long hold when an MP3 is playing and settings will pop up which will allow you to set the MP3 as either a ringtone, notification, or alarm.

Some popular (free) options are:

MixZing Media Player

doubleTwist Player

I know there’s a ton of other ways to do this and am interested to hear how everyone gets their MP3s as their notifications/ring tones. Share your stories below
