Your phone has bluetooth. Get a USB bluetooth dongle for $30-35 and you can plug that in your computer then you can upload mp3 to your phone FREEE....
If you need any songs, give me your msn and i\'ll send you my songs. I think i have most updated songs or I can downloaded on the spot for you. Thats what i\'ve been doing for all my phones.

that or you can get a copy of Motorola Phone Tools and use the usb cable your phone came with (much more reliable IMO).. don\'t forget that the razr has a FINITE memory capacity so you may want to use MPTrim to cut the songs (you\'ll need 30sec max as that is the max length of the ringtone) also 320kbps would be an overkill and 96 or even 48 or whatever will suffice..

Like Pearl mentioned you can use Bluetooth or if your computer does not have BT you can use the USB data cable which should have come with the phone. With my RAZR I just used the MPT (mobile phone tools) and cut my downloaded mp3s to 20 second clips and put them on my phone via the cable.

Most people just make their own mp3 ringtones like Pearl_hatch mentioned :)

Best selection... and you don\'t have to pay.

But IMO i\'d suggest you go for the bluetooth, even tho its a bit slower but if you\'re transfering 30secs of mp3 it won\'t take long. Also consider the blutooth you can use IF you get a new phone with the bluetooth fucntion. If you get the USB cable it wo\'nt come to use if you change to another phone brand. But in the end, Its your call.

it\'s not even the speed.. IIRC, the cable used for the razor is a mini B (the one on the left) which is pretty common out there so there are good chances he has one.. and since he wants FREE MP3s he\'s most likely looking at a \'free\' solution.. and MPT can be had free too (if you look hard) :p

what he said ^ ^ ^

*echo echo*

My friend bought a new RAZR and wanted to borrow my cable and I told him to just check his new digicam cable... and of course it was the same one. He was happy.

Wow, thanks guys!! that\'s awsome :D :D

and that\'s for that digicam cable tip, \'cause my phone
didn\'t come with one.

now i just have to majoogle \"MPTrim\"
and find out what that is and how to cut songs,
and figure out what \"320kbps would be an overkill and 96 or even 48 or whatever will suffice..\"
and all that number mumbo jumbo means :p

Thanks again guys!

I can send you a program to cut songs if you want. This program is pretty precise if you want to have it perfect by the second.
