OT: iTunes ringtone on BlackBerry

by cubswgnrocks on Aug 2, 2008 2:23 PM CDT

I created a "Go Cubs Go" ringtone on iTunes, and wanted to use it for my BlackBerry. Is there a way to do this. I would think that there would be, but I don't know. Again, I have a iTunes ringtone that I want to put onto my BlackBerry. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go Cubs! Go Cubs! Go Cubs! Go Cubs! Go Cubs! Go Cubs! Go Cubs! Go Cubs!

Go Cubs! DONE!

You need to convert the file into an MP3 in order to make it work on the BB. When you succeed, please send the file my way. Thank you!

One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

Very Awesome

I downloaded to my blackberry – it’s great!!!

Will it work on a non-blackberry phone – my wife’s?

How do I make this work on a BB?

Not quite working out for me…I am technologically inept.

I created the same ringtone last summer and use it during the season

But, I’m a little crafty… I have a simple music editing program that I use to shorten the songs just to the main chorus or coolest part: on my blackberry I have Go Cubs Go, Bear Down, and the Monday Night Football theme music.

You can put any mp3 file on your blackberry and make it a ringer

I'm not going to even bother trying to update this sig everyday anymore... that's what the standings column on ESPN is for.

Be careful of file limitations

My global-Q thru AT&T has a 300kB size limitation and many files need to be encoded at 64kbps (takes less memory and for a ringtone it won’t matter). I did this for Hey Hey Holy Mackerel. I don’t know the BB’s limits though.

I use audacity to modify files and convert them to MP3 format.

For everyone's convenience...

... click here for a mp3 of Go Cubs Go. It’s the one I use for my ringtone; just a couple of phrases of the chorus. (Link opens a mp3 file in a new browser window)
