The ringtone is one of the elements that most defines you. In addition to using the generic sounds included in Android, it is possible to use your favorite music. We can say, then, that there are as many ringtones as there are songs and musical tastes. There are several ways to set a custom song as a reminder. Do you want to know them?
Set a song as a ringtone from the settings
The first method uses the system’s ringtone selector. You can find it in the Android settings, in the section Sounds.
Sound settings
Then select Phone ringtone.
Ringtone Options
In the popup dialog, tap on Add ringtone.
Add ringtone
Using the file browser, locate the audio you want to set as the ringtone.
Select ringtone
Now, the next time they call you, the chosen song will play.
Add a song as a ringtone with the music player
Some customization layers may not allow adding tones to the predefined list. So use the music player as an alternative. It should be noted that not all manufacturers include a player. Nor can we ensure that all native players include this option. If that’s the case for you, simply download one that supports this feature, or take a look at the alternative methods mentioned in this guide.
Once you’ve accessed the player, find the song you want to use as a ringtone. Open the song options and tap on Use as ringtone.
Set ringtone from player
From that moment on, the chosen song will have been set as the ringtone.

Where to find free ringtones?
There are a number of ways to find free ringtones. For example, on the Internet there are a large number of royalty-free music banks that you can freely use for this purpose, if your license allows it. On the other hand, there are more specific applications, for which we recommend visiting our section with the best apps to personalize the ringtone on Android. Finally, you can use your own MP3s, both those that you have extracted from your CDs and those that you have bought over the Internet. Remember to transfer them to internal memory so that they are available.
