Thread: w580i Ringtones and DRM

Thanks. I got it figured out. First the settings in drm, and the phone mode trick for file transfer.

Does the DRMed file have the extension 'dm'? If yours works like my then after the transfer the phone will prompt you to use the file now? If you answer yes then it will put up a menu for what the file can be used as, and ringtone is one of the selections.

Hi everyone! I'm the real noob here. I just got my new w580i and was bummed when I found out that I couldn't use my own songs as ringtones. I read all of your guys' previous posts, but I'm totally lost because I'm not a technological type of person. Could you guys please explain everything step by step, and if I need to download anything, could you please post the link? Is it true that you can only use about 30 seconds of a song instead of the whole song? Anyhow, what would be even better is if someone could do an instructional type of video showing everyone how to do it (Eman? since you seem to know the most?). It would be great! Thanks a lot guys!

The DRM Packager is on Ericsson's developer's site, you can goggle "DRM packager" and it should bring up the link for it.

You'll also need to install the software that comes with the phone (A CD that came with your phone, or you can download the PC suite from the Ericsson site) onto your computer.

Then just follow the instructions posted earlier in this thread.

what is drm?

I'll try that, and I'll get back to you.

Thanks a million, mike (:
