If you don't want to sign up for a website to put your own ringtones on your Centro, and you feel that you have a good understanding of the workings of your computer and Centro, you can add them through the Blazer web browser already on your phone. It's a little more complicated, but I have not had any problems with this process. Follow these instructions:

1. Add a music file to your RAM or SD card with Palm QuickInstall (as of yet, I have only used mp3, so I am unsure on its compatibility with other formats).

2. Take note of the folder and exact name of the file (most likely, it will just load to a folder called "Audio")

3. Open Blazer, and type in this "webpage":

file:///Cardname/Foldername/filename.mp3

For clarification, there are 3 slashes after "file", "Cardname" should be the name of the card (whether "PalmCard" or the name of your SD card), "Foldername" will be the name of the folder (eg, "Audio"), and "filename" will be the name of the file (eg, "borntorun.mp3"). In all cases, all the names must be EXACTLY as they are named (case- and space-sensitive), and each will have a slash in between.

4. When you open this "webpage", it will open a download page for the music file, to which you will respond "Copy to Ringtone" and then press "Yes" to continue.

5. After it has downloaded, press "Save" (or "Save and open", it doesn't really matter), and give your ringtone a name. It will be placed in with the rest of your ringtones.

Note: Since this will make the whole music file a ringtone (not just 20 or 30 seconds of it), I suggest editing the music file down in a program such as Audacity (which you can DL for free from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/)

I understand that this sounds like a long process, but this is another option for you to use (and one that doesn't use your data connection or text messages).
