Love your music? Want it to be your ringtone? Now you can do so by setting your favorite MP3 as the ringtone for your mobile device!
This tips is tested on Samsung EPIX, althought it will probably work on other PocketPC devices.
Here are the steps to set up the ringtone:
1. Put the  MP3s you desire to use as ringtone to My Ringtones folder under My Document.
2. Go to Setting > Personal(Tap) > Sound & notifications > Notification (Tap). Now click on the drop down box next to Ring Type and select “Phone: Incoming Call”.
4. Under Ring tone, click on the drop down box and Select MP3, Click “OK”
You are good to go! Now you can enjoy your music selection when a call comes through, just don’t forget to pick it up!

This did not work for me. The files were copied into the folder but they do not show up in the list.
@Justin. Thanks for visiting. Just have 2 question for you – may I know which Samsung device you are using? And also just double-check the path where the mp3 are placed in (make sure they are placed under ‘My Ringtones’ in ‘My Document’).
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks for replying so quickly. I actually have a samsung epix and this is why I was so interested. I just purchased a ringtone and saved it to the my ringtones folder in my documents and it showed up in the list. But any Mp3s I copy into there don’t show up. Is there a certain format / bitrate that needs to be used?
The Epix I have is about 1 month old.
Well, I can set a mp3 which has 320 bit as a ringtone on my epix. I guess it might be DRM problem.
I purchased a ringtone from the phone and guess what… It shows up in the list. Yes, the ringtone format shows up as *.mp3-drm. How is this fair? I can click on an mp3 and go set-as-ringtone, but they don’t show up in the list.
Must be DRM – I thought DRM was dead – Oh well
@Justin Yea, it does seem like its DRM.
But there’s hope if you are buying music from iTune, they have recently made their library of music DRM free. I’m not entirely sure if those are in mp3 format though. But for 99c a piece, it might be an option you can try!
Works on Samsung Omnia i910. No problems.
It seems like it is a DRM problem. I purchased a ringtone and that works fine. I just need to find a way to add drm to the mp3s that I want to use.
how do you delete the default ringtones or can you delete them????
