Making Ringtones
I have installed the latest Audacity 2.0 and LAME. Now I'd like to make my own ringtones. However, I get stuck when I try to export my file as an MP3. I get the metadata "box" and have to name THAT file. It confuses me. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Re: Making Ringtones
You can ignore the metadata box and just OK it. You can also set Audacity to stop showing you the box.

Re: Making Ringtones
Thank you both for your information. One more question (I hope!!): How do I find out what format file is used on my phone? I have VerizonWireless as a provider and a Samsung Convoy 2 phone. I've tried VerizonWireless tech support but they haven't been able to provide me with an answer. Thanks.......

Re: Making Ringtones
I think you need to contact Samsung tech. support as the manufacturer of the hardware for that information.

Oops sorry - I wasn't reading right was I 
You have my sympathies... I recently bought a Samsung TV an excellent TV, but their tech support I found underwhelming, particularly compared with the excellent tech support from Humax and Sony for the PVR and Blu-ray purchased at the same time.
