How to put music to SMS in Nokia Lumia? Actually, this is the question that many users ask me. Therefore, I decided to write a complete instruction, which in turn will allow you and your friends to do it yourself.
First of all, I would like to emphasize that this instruction for installing a melody on SMS is compatible only with devices running latest version operating system, i.e Windows Phone 8.1... Therefore, if your smartphone runs on previous version- on 8-ke, in this case, this article does not suit you, since there is a slightly different way of setting the melody.
So let's get over it. The principle of setting a ringtone is quite simple, and it is similar to setting your own music to ringtone in WP-smartphones.
1) Initially, you will need to find an application called "Melody Creator" in the phone menu. In the event that this application does not exist (although this is unlikely), then you will need to download it from the application store and only then proceed to the second point.
2) Go to the application and click "select a song".
3) Find the song that we want to use as a melody on incoming messages.
4) Next, you will need to select the segment of the track that you want to hear as a melody on SMS messages, and click save. Thanks to the developers from NOKIA for saving us from unnecessary hemorrhoids - cutting music on the computer.
5) The melody is created. The main thing is not to click set as a ringtone, since you are going to install it on SMS.
6) Now go back to the settings and find the item "notifications + actions".
7) Scroll to the very bottom and find "Messages".
8) Here we will see several items, including the "Notification Sound" drop-down menu. Click on "default".
Windows Phone 7.5 smartphones have a bunch of standard ringtones, but it's much more pleasant to listen to in quality incoming call favorite track, agree? You can install your melody on Nokia Lumia, Samsung Omnia and other WP-solutions, but you can't do without prompts. In this article, we will show you step by step how to do it.
1. You need to select a composition and crop it so that the final file meets stupid Microsoft restrictions. Any audio editor is suitable for editing. I used the freeware Audacity (). You will most likely need the LAME codec, it is.
You need to add the desired track through File - Open ...;
Select the desired piece of no more than 39 seconds duration (the easiest way is in seconds at the bottom), and then select File - Export selection ... Properties: MP3, 192 kbps, constant bit rate.
An important condition for a ringtone is that it must not weigh more than 1 MB and must be DRM-free.
When saving, the program will prompt you to make changes to the tags. In the genre column, we must prescribe RINGTONE (this can be done in the properties by pressing the RMB or in the Zune itself).
2. If the file is not already in the Zune, then it's time to drag it there. It will be added to the collection, from where it must be moved to the smartphone icon in the lower left part (the phone must be connected to a PC). Synchronization will take place.
3. The ringtone will appear on the phone along the way: Settings - Ringtones + sounds - Ringtone - Customizable. Everything:)
I must say that the Marketplace has several applications that allow you to make a ringtone directly on your smartphone, but they are paid. There are, for example, "Ringtones" - good program allowing you to download music from VKontakte, Skydrive, Dropbox and SoundCloud. I will not say that with its help it is much easier to cope with the ringtone, but you can use it as an alternative. There are also programs with pre-cut melodies, but, unfortunately, the choice there is limited only to popular tracks.
Owners of phones with built-in Windows Phone OS know how to put music on a call ("Nokia Lumiya" - the lineup which we will discuss today) is not easy. What is the reason, why is it so difficult to set your favorite melody to a ringtone, and why are such restrictions imposed by smartphone manufacturers? Only they probably know the answers to these questions. But one should not be upset. He who seeks, as you know, will always achieve his goal.

It should be noted that the passage can be cut from any place in the composition, for example from the chorus or somewhere at the end, it does not matter at all. You need to select your favorite passage by dragging the menu sliders to the desired position.
