8575 Ringtones require DRM?

[dirtvoyles]

I purchased an 8575 yesterday from Alltel. It's not a bad mobile, but I am a stickler for using personalized tones.

I have moved my mp3 tones into the 'my_ringtones' folder on the microSD card, and they show as available choices. However, when I attempt to set one as a ring tone I get the error 'Not Available No-DRM File'.

I posted on the LG site, but I've always had much better luck on HoFo so I'm here to ask you guys for advice/solutions.

Really? Nothing?

Hokay, I won't pretend to know how, but after a couple of hours playing with Bitpim (God bless those devs), I have my custom tones on my 8575.

I used the Win version to load mp3s pretending it was an 11000, no dice. Then I went in and pretended it was a 3rd gen chokkit, and after deleting a few and adding a few it now will allow me to set my uploaded tones as ringers. I have not tested them all, but a majority work at this point and I am very happy with that.

Like I said, I don't know what voodoo was worked, but it does. Go give it a shot.

The other thing to do is to put your rings in your My_Sounds folder, navigate to your media center>>my sounds, then selecting the file you uploaded and choose set as>ringtone. Or you can do the old email a text to your phone with the mp3 attached trick...

This actually does not work on the phone talked about in the thread. There isn't a set to ringtone option in the sounds folder.
