There are times when I just want to use a specific MP3 music track either as ringtone or as notification alert. On Android generally, this isn’t a hard thing to accomplish. But, on several of Samsung’s recent high-end releases, it’s nearly a walk in the park.
Samsung’s much-celebrated smartphones do have a long list of default ringtones and notification alerts to choose from. You can choose any one of them until you grow weary of it — and when you do, and when you’ve run through all tones on the list, what else do you have left to do? You add your own MP3 to the list, of course.
In this guide, I’ll show you how to set an MP3 file as custom ringtone or notification sound on certain high-end Samsung phones. (You may also check our video tutorial at the end of this post.)
Requirements
The instructions in this guide have been known to work on the Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, and Galaxy S3 running stock TouchWiz with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean or higher; these may also work on other Samsung phones that I have not tested.
Root access on the phone is not needed either. This guide will still work even if your phone is rooted, provided that your phone runs at least Android 4.1 with stock TouchWiz. The procedures may be a bit different if your phone is running a custom ROM or a different version of Android.
The MP3 files that you want to use must already be on your phone. There are many ways to copy MP3 files to your phone, but I won’t be covering those here.
Setting custom MP3 ringtoneVia Settings menu
To set an MP3 file for use as custom ringtone system-wide, do the following:
Via Music Player
You can also set a system-wide custom MP3 ringtone through the Music Player app:
Custom MP3 ringtone for specific contact
Setting a personalized ringtone for each contact is also possible in the stock Contacts app:
Setting MP3 as custom notification tone
Unlike with ringtones, you cannot directly set an MP3 file as notification alert through the Settings menu or via the Music Player app. You have to manually set the music file to use it as a notification alert. Here’s how to do it:
Using ringtone manager apps
Another way to set custom notifications or ringtones is through a ringtone manager or ringtone editor app. One of my favorites is the Ringtone Maker app. This app allows you to trim a music file and set it as a ringtone or notification alert.
