There is a large variety of mp3 ringtone maker apps on the market for free. Also there probably already some kind of ringtone for pretty much any song out there, on the Zedge app - or at least most of them..

make a...
just make a ringtone folder...'Ringtone' copy your mp3s in there
If you don't already have a folder at '/media/audio/ringtones' create one and put them there. Same for 'notifications'. Note that you do not NEED to put them there, You can put 'ringtones' and 'notifications' folders at the root level of the sdcard and the media scanner will still find them, but that is the designated location.

When wanting to use a non-standard ringtone (not built in MP3/WAV) for notifications/rings, the built in app doesn't support the ability to choose sounds on your card.
That said, I used an app Tone Picker to choose these sounds, but when I use it on GB, it keeps locking up. Does anyone know an alternative to that program?
LOL - am I the only one that uses non-built in ringtones?
My non stock ring tones work fine

They don't show up in my list of ringtones to pick...
I had the same problem. Did a factory reset and it fixed it. Then I had to reload all my crap...
ok, well unknown to me you need to have sounds in the media/audio/notifications directory. I did it, but GMAIL keeps locking up when I select one of my sounds. It is a MP3, so I am going to convert it to WAV and see if that helps.
That was it. For some reason the GMAIL app (maybe more??) doesn't like notifications to be MP3 format. I converted it to WAV and it was fine.
Does anyone know if there is a simple way of making .mp3 a ringtone? Or do I have to convert the .mp3 file into something else for it to work? Tried settings/sound/ringtone and I didn't see any of the songs I downloaded on my phone.

Put them in the ringtones folder or use an app like Rings Extended.

i make a folders called "ringtones" and "notifications" and put all my custom mp3 sounds in those...all apps can see them along with the stock sounds
How do I change ringtone from a stock one to one of my music I've downloaded onto the nexus4. Tried everything is it something obvious.

If you did a search you'd find the answer pretty quick but I'll play along..
Download pretty much any ringtone maker app. I use "Mp3 music ringtone - droidring"
Put the file in your ringtone folder.
I use es file explorer and when I use the player I can set it to whatever option.

I would like to create a ringtone however any song I purchased on Google music is not available on my storage. Any way I can access it so I can create one?

Look through your files with a file managing app and move it to a mother music folder. I don't know if you'll even find it because I haven't tried. But I'd like to know a 100 percent legit option too

you need to be rooted and need a file browser that can access root folders
got to data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
they don't have proper names or date accessed info so if you have lots of files like me... good luck

You can download google music manager on your pc and download your library. Then copy and paste to your s4. If you look for the songs in root explorer they show up as numbers if I remember right.

Find the song in your music player and click the pin button beside it.
That saves it to your phone. Done.
If you want use an app to make it a ringtone make sure you have root and use root explorer or anything root capable file explorer and navigate to data -> data -> com.google.android.music -> files -> music -> (artist/album)
Copy that file to your default Music folder that doesn't require root and wella any ringtone app should be able to find it.
OR
do as someone else suggested and download it to to your computer from Google Play Music then manually copy it over
I fancy a custom ringtone on my phone (see sig for details), but after every update I have to set it again, because otherwise it stays on 'unknown ringtone'; same goes for notifications.
I tried to use files on internal and on external sdcard, made me a flashable zipfile, too, that pushes the files to the correct folders in /system /media/audio/ - but no luck, the setting won't survive a system upgrade through OpenDelta
Any hints how to make it stick? I'd appreciate a lot
Do you have a "Ringtones" folder on your SD card? If you put it there it should be automatically indexed and stick after an OpenDelta update
I do, but it won't stick :-$
Put it on sd/media/audio/ringtones and it will stick.

Thanks for this, it worked however all the ringtones now show up in my music player. Adding a .nomedia file negated them showing up at all as ringtones.
Any way to have them visible to ringtones but hidden from music? Or can I not have it both ways?
Thanks in advance.

Use a music player with the ability to hide files/folders
How come apps like Facebook and any.Do have notifications in that folder that are not visible to my music player without the use of a .nomedia file?
Any way to mimic those?

Check their properties in a file explorer, you can hide them there (why didn't I think of this in my post above??)

I don't think I can change sd card content permissions, unless I'm missing something. I'm using es file manager.

Long press the file or folder you want to hide, select properties and enable hidden. On SD you have all permissions by default.
