QuestionCan I use a song from YouTube ?
Community AnswerYou should be able to, if you can download the video and rip the audio. There are many freeware downloaders (Clipgrab is a good one) you can use to grab the video. To rip the audio from a YouTube video, load it into VLC player and then save it as an Mp3 (or other suitable file type) to use as your ringtone. -
QuestionHow do I change the alarm sound?
Community AnswerGo to your clock app and click on Alarms. Then you either make a new one or press edit to edit a previous one. This will take you to the settings for that alarm. Click on Sound. There will be the option to buy new tones, set the vibration pattern for the alarm, picking songs from your music library or picking preset ringtones for your alarm sound. Just pick the one you like best and then save the alarm. -
QuestionHow can I get different ringtones for different people?
