  3. Put C:\Program Files\lame in your PATH
  4. lame.exe -b 32 -m m -h -B 48 --resample 24 phone.mp3 compatible.mp3
  5. If your computer does not have bluetooth, buy a Targus USB Bluetooth adapter for $19 or cheaper.
  6. Once you have bluetooth set up and working on your PC, then on your cellphone: Menu->Settings->Connection->Bluetooth Link->Setup->Find Me
  7. On your PC, right click the Bluetooth logo in the Systray->Bluetooth Setup Wizard...->Follow the instructions until Motorola L2 is listed.
  8. Enable OBEX File Transfer
  9. On your Desktop double click My Bluetooth Places and then navigate to My Bluetooth Places\Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood\Motorola L2\OBEX File Transfer\audio
  10. Paste your ringtone (In the example above it would be called compatible.mp3) into My Bluetooth Places\Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood\Motorola L2\OBEX File Transfer\audio
  11. When the upload finishes, on your cellphone: Menu->My Stuff->Sounds->compatible->Menu->Apply as Ringtone
