Big chance your 6620 will not play MP3 as ringtones. You can browse them
when you customize your profile, listen to them while you do so, but as soon
as you select it, you get 'Invalid Format' error, or something like it.

Earlier firmware-versions allow MP3s to be played as ringtones. Newer
firmwares (i have 4.22) don't... :=( (DRM issues, or something?)

But if your's does: Copy the MP3 ringtone into the C:\Nokia\Sounds\Digital
or E:\Nokia\Sounds\Digital folder of your phone. Then use your 'Profiles'
application to select the ringtone you want.

As far as i can see, it does not state that you can use MP3s as ringtones
(at least i have not found any document that says so). It *does* state that
MP3 files can be played on the phone..... semantics, i know, but the
statements are a little different from each other.

Then again; if MP3s can be played on the phone, why not as ringtones?
I can see (one of) two reasons:
1. Playing those MP3s as ringtones was too buggy..... they just disabled
that feature (it seems that older 6620 *can* play MP3s as ringtones).
2. Something to do with DRM (digital rights management). I wonder what would
happen if you officially bought a MP3 ringtone.. .maybe it is possible to
set these as a ringtone. But then again; i can assign any MIDI file as a
ringtone, whether i bought it or not.

Checking your firmware: type

*#0000#

And you firmware will appear.
