RE #20

Are the converted songs in AAC format or MP3?

I think the iTunes default is AAC, which probably isn't compatable with the Crackberry.

There should be an option somewhere in the iTunes config (there used to be anyway) that allows you to set the convert to format. As for your existing music, you might want to look into an external converter, there are many good ones that can be had for free (I'm currently using "BonkEnc").

From iTunes help... Note this will NOT work for songs downloaded from iTunes though.

To convert a song's file format:

Choose iTunes > Preferences, click General, and then click Import Settings.

In the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the format you want to convert songs to, and then click OK to save the settings.

Select one or more songs in your library and choose Advanced > Create [Format] Version.

#22 Good point. I rip my CDs into MP3 format simply because it's compatible with a lot more gear.

Just found out something else I could do!!!

I can also copy these songs into my "ringtone" folder, so I don't need to purchase ringtones for freakin 2.99 each!

SWEET!

I have Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" as my ringtone. I also always leave the ringer volume set to maximum.

Anytime someone calls me, EVERYONE in a 15-foot radius gets rickrolled.

I'll put it on my phone, and next time I'm at a conference with like 1,000 police officers, I'll have a friend call me.... and I'll rickroll all the boys in blue!

BAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Or you can do the shaft theme.......Oh wait no you cant!!!

Maybe you should use the theme to Hill Street Blues instead.

Check that.

Forgot who I was talking to.

Maybe the Sledgehammer or Reno911 themes would be more appropriate.

#27 I Katie Roll people. One of my employees made the mistake of telling me she hates the song "I Kissed a Girl". Then others did. Most of the time I set the ringer to Ozzy, Pantera, Queensryche, that sort of thing. However, in the office I set it to IKaG. Drives them nuts.

I left it in the office late one night last week. A true accident, but I was nearly home and didn't want to go all the way back to the office, as it was nearly 11. Next morning, I sat in my garage smoking a cigar after our office opening time (nice to be the boss), repeatedly calling my cell from the cordless phone at home. Just four rings, before they could get to it, then hang up.

They were pretty pissed when I got into the office.

Glad the OP got it working. For others wanting to do the same, a lot depends on your cell. Check your documentation to see what kind of files the phone will play.

If your phone has bluetooth file transfer, and all your itunes songs are in a compatible format, you can simply drag your itunes music folder onto your phones playlist folder via bluetooth. Most non-apple phones will not play tunes purchased from the itunes store, however (although I believe they are now selling without DRM, so new downloads may work fine).

Personally, I use for a ringtone an audio clip of Godzilla's roar I ripped from a DVD. It never fails to frighten and piss off the people around me.
