How do I set a music file as a ringtone on my Samsung Galaxy smartphone?
Your device can add a music file, such as an mp3, as a ringtone either as a general ringtone or as a personal ringtone for a specific contact.
Note: you will need to have the actual music file downloaded directly onto your device in order to use it (i.e. tracks that you have purchased or directly downloaded). View how to load music files onto your device from your Windows PC.
You won't be able to use tracks that you play via a streaming service as the terms and conditions of most streaming services are that you pay to listen to the songs and albums, not to purchase the songs themselves. You will need to have purchased that particular album or track and have downloaded the file directly to your device.
Select Sounds and vibration or Sounds and notifications or Sounds
To use your own music file, tap Add or Add ringtone (you may need to scroll to the bottom for this).
If you do not see the below screen pop up, or are not taken to a screen displaying your audio files, you may need to do a settings reset.
If the file does not appear under Tracks, choose Folders to locate the file.
PLEASE NOTE: that you need to have downloaded the actual music file onto your device.
To assign a personal ringtone to a contact on your mobile device:
Note on some devices you may go straight to the audio files instead of seeing this step.
PLEASE NOTE: you need to have the specific music file downloaded onto your device
