Sony Ericsson w760 Ringtones INFO!
Okay, I'm going to save everyone a headache when they make mp3 ringtones for their new SE 760 phones. If you are like me and like to make your own ringtones from mp3s, then read on!
At first I thought at&t had blocked personal mp3s from being used as ringtones (stored onto the phones internal memory), but after much playing around, I found that there is a 292kb size limit to the ringtone in order to be played! AND I MEAN EXACTLY 292KB LIMIT (not even a byte over, took a lot of editing to find that out). Aim for <291kb to be safe. If you want to make a longer ringtone, just pick a lower quality to lower the size of the file. The shorter the mp3 is, the better the quality to can have. Again, that is for ringtones being stored on the phone's internal memory (haven't tested the memory cards yet) and being transfered to the phone with SE's PC Suite. I personally use audio editing software to make mine (I use WavePad v3.05), but you are free to use whatever.
Feel free to post about if you find contradicting information, or anything else that could be helpful to the ringtone making world!

Unfortunately at&t's firmware did the same thing to the W580i. Any audio file can be used for a message alert - doesn't even need to be in the "ringtones" folder; yet, you had to make a < 600 kB clip of an MP3 and store it in the ringtones folder to use it as a ringtone.
I presume they do it to try to steer users of the "music phones" to continue to purchase ringtones from at&t's MediaMall. 😞
