You can add a file in any of the following file types as a ringtone for your device: MP3, AAC, AAC+, AMR, QCELP, or WAV. How to use the file as a ringtone depends on the following: the file type, how you obtain the file, and whether you want to use the file as a ringtone only, or play it in the Music app.

You can obtain files to use as ringtones in any of the following ways:

•Download a ringtone from one of the many ringtone apps in HP webOS App Catalog (see HP webOS App Catalog and Software Manager).

•Copy a file from your computer (see Copy a ringtone to your device).

To use an AMR or QCELP file as a ringtone, the file must be stored in the ringtones folder in your device’s USB drive storage. Here’s how to get the file into the correct folder:

•Files downloaded from App Catalog: The file is placed in the ringtones folder automatically.

•Files copied from your computer: You must place the file in the ringtones folder (see Copy a ringtone to your device).

To use a file in the ringtones folder as a ringtone, see Select a file from the ringtones folder as a ringtone.

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 device). If the file is already on your device, connect your device 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 ringtone.

•To both use the file as a ringtone and listen to the file in the Music app: Copy the file to your device and place the file in any folder in your device’s USB drive storage except ringtones (see Copy files and folders using USB Drive mode). To use the file as a ringtone, follow the steps in Select a song as a ringtone.
