Re: Problem in setting locked song as ringtone in Nokia X6

If they are WMA files then you can't use them as ringtones, this is nothing to do with Nokia - it is a decision of the record companies who decided top license the tracks music playback only, not tones - it is the DRM (Digitial Rights Management) preventing the track being used as a tone.

 

Furthermore, if you have downloaded free using the Ovi Music Unlimited service the DRM is even tighter, restricting the tracks to being played on a single phone and a single PC registered to the OMU service. There is no such thing as a free lunch, not without heavy strings attached, anyway.

 

If you buy MP3 files from the paid Ovi Music Store, these have no DRM and can be used as tones.
