For MP3, AAC, AAC+, and WAV files, you have two options:
• To use the file as a ringtone only: Place the file in the ringtones folder (see
Copy a ringtone to your smartphone). If the file is already on your
smartphone, connect your smartphone to your computer as described in
that procedure, navigate to the file, and move the file to the ringtones
folder. If you download a file from a ringtone app in App Catalog, it is
automatically placed in the ringtones folder. To use a file in the ringtones
folder as a ringtone, see Select a file from the ringtones folder as a

folders using USB Drive mode). If you download an MP3 file from the
