Use RingDroid to edit MP3, WAV, and AMR audio files and create ringtones, alarms, and notifications from them. Create your own ringtone by editing music tracks in your library, or record a new one directly from the phone. By the Ringdroid Team

AndroidTapp.com Android App Review:

RingDroid’s main feature is to allow you to create custom ringtones directly from your T-Mobile G1 or Android Powered (save your 99 cents per track)! When the app is launched, you are presented with all the MP3s on your phone. You can Search by sliding your G1 in landscape exposing the keyboard, as you type it filters. You can also Record a New ringtone via the built-in Sound Recorder app.

Once you’ve found your song, the RingDroid song editing interface open. It’s fairly easy to create your RingDroid ringtone snippet… if not, we’ve listed how below.

How to Use RingDroid:

  1. Open RingDroid and select your MP3
  2. You will see 2 sliders representing the start and stop point of the MP3
  3. Slide the start and stop points to your hearts desire (there are plenty of tools to help you get the right spot. You can Rewind, Play/Pause and Fast-Forward, Zoom In and Out, and even use the G1′s trackball for more precision, lastly type in the time-code.)
  4. Once you’re done, tapp the Save button (you have the option to save as: Music, Alarm, Notification or Ringtone)
    (Here’s a video of it demonstrated at CNET)

We’ve also listed some RingDroid tips:

  • Copy audio files to your SD card using a USB cable, or buy MP3s using the Amazon MP3 store application.
  • Tapp anywhere on the waveform to start playing at that position.
  • While playing, tapp the word Start or End to quickly set the start and end markers to the current playback time.
  • Use the trackball wheel for more precise adjustments.

    Great app. Loaded up my mp3s, opened Ringdroid, cut the part of the song i wanted, saved as ringtone. 3 minutes from the time I downloaded it. KILLER APP.

  3. Carol says:

    It just keeps force closing – Samsung Moment.
    Also the time is almost always half the actual length.
    Definitely needs some work.

  7. jess says:

    Everytime i scroll the 2 sliders to the part of the song that I want, the song just starts over and it doesn’t let me go past the beginning of the song.. am i doin somethin wrong here… idk im confused, anybody help?

  8. backdoc says:

    Yeah, not working on the Droid Eris. After moving the sliders to where I want them, pressing the play button just starts the song from the beginning. No way to know which part of the song you’ve selected.
    Sigh….

  9. mo says:

    access to contact information + full network access on an app that needs neither?

    i suspect that it may be spyware.

  10. Tim says:

    Ringdroid app is great on Motorola Droid but can’t figure out how to change a ringtone to a different contact should I choose. Also How do I go back and listen to the ringtone I created should I choose to do so? Help please.
