I thought it would be a fairly simple task. I am a novice on an unrooted s3 who just wants to change his ring tone to a song I downloaded to Google play. It's on my phone and it plays fine but when I go to add it to the ring tone file the song doesn't show up as an option. So I installed es explorer to see if it showed up in it which it didn't. So I'm wondering if it's because it's unrooted or is it because I didn't download it through es or is it a Google play issue. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. TIA

You can use an app like Ringtone Maker.

A friend of mine just got her a captivate...hasn't done anything with it really, but she was wondering how to change her messaging notification sound to an mp3 song file...
The only problem is that she has handcent sms downloaded and the song plays for a bit then gets cut off
Any advice?

Copy the mp3 to the media/audio/notifications folder. Just beware if it's a long song it will play forever unless you manually shorten it. Try using Ringdroid or Tape Machine for that.
Ok thanks and cheers!
Get Ringdroid from the market. You transfer songs to your phone, open up Ringdroid, select the song you want and you can trim out the section of the song you want to use, therefore it doesn't play the entire song. And when you are finished, it asks you if you want it to be saved as a ringtone, notification, or an alarm and it will save it to the proper directory.
I tried .nomedia, but it hides it from phone completely, so I converted my tones from .mp3 to .ogg and player still sees them. I know I can move tones to system\media\... but I don't want to because I need these to be separated. I don't understand why player reads these tones because they're in the same folder as Hangouts tones that it doesn't read, so does anyone know why Hangouts tones are invisible to the player, but those that I insert aren't?
In the stock music player you have a option in settings to don't show music files with less duration , you can choose hide media files between 0 and 120 seconds. Just open the music player, and in the bottom , on the right side tap settings icon and then something like filter I don't remember exactly . Good luck

Thanks. I saw that actually, but too bad I'm not using stock music player. It's frustrating, because of those Hangouts sounds, other players don't read those, just like stock. I was hoping someone knows some magic trick for that.
Hi all. I'm in need of a music player for my N6 that stops after playing when the song I choose is over. Play Music automatically goes to the next song on the album and I can't have that at work. I can't find a setting to change it. Is it buried somewhere?
I'd prefer free but I'd pay a couple bucks for something that does what I need it to.
Anyone know of a player that will stop at the end of the chosen song?
Use a file manager to find the song you wish to play, I prefer es file
explorer. Tap to select and choose a player, either es built in or google play
This will only play that track.
Playerpro has this feature.
Clear your queue, tap 3 dots to right of song you want, select add to queue, profit!
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I use Astro as my file manager and it will play most .mp3's natively. It's kind of a pain though, as I music scattered around.
I'll check out Playerpro, thanks!
I must be doing it wrong Paul. It still goes right to the next song on the album.

It's a setting you need to enable, I haven't used it for a while but it used to mention something about being handy for musicians and teachers.
Have a dig through the settings menu and you should find it.
Ringtone Change
Note 4: SM-N910T
Android Version: 5.0.1
Baseband Version: N910TUVU1COG2
Kernel Version: 3.10.40-4739134
Build Number: LRX22C.N910TUV1COG2
For some unknown reason I have lost the capability to change my ringtone to a song (MP3 file) that I have used on my Note 2, Note 3 and this Note 4 for years. I have tried many times by going into:
Settings
Sound and notifications
Ringtones
Media Storage
And see Ringtones in the System- Media-Ringtones File (.ogg files)
I try to ADD and then get: Complete action using: with various apps shown such as:
ES File Explorer, Total Commander, Sound Picker, Pick Audio Track and Dropbox.
I have tried to add the song that I want using ES File Explorer and Total Commander which does play when I try to add the song. However, when I return to Sound and notifications, the original ringtone options are still the same without the song (MP3) I tried to add.
I have tried to ADD using: Sound picker and Pick audio Track and nothing shows up as these are both empty. I don’t know where Sound picker/pick audio track is located to move/copy the MP3 file into one of those locations.
I have not used Dropbox as I do not use Dropbox.
I have even tried to copy and move the song into:
System-Media-Ringtones (file) and that will not allow me to do so. I get the display:
Copy/Move Task failed: /system/media/audio/ringtone/Aquarius1.mp3: open failed: EROFS (Read only file system)
Again I know the MP3 file works as a ringtone because I have used it many times and even use if for Contacts.
What am I doing wrong?
How can I get that ringtone back?
Any help will be appreciated.
I am sure others may be encountering this problem. I even went to a T-Mobile Store and spoke with a Samsung Tech Rep who could not help me. Sorry to say, I knew more about this than he did.
Is there a solution for this? Thank you for any help you may provide.
I am totally shocked that no one has responded to this query. Where have all the people gone?
Hi,
You can install ES File Manager and play the song which you would like to use a ringtone using the internal es player. Then click on options and you will find "set ringtone" option.

If you're using Tasker's inbuilt Play Music action, you can try changing the output stream and see if that works.
