Current ring tone - Dean Martin ain't that a kick in the head
How to add an .mp3 to your Verizon cell to use as a ring tone:
1) Take an .mp3 and convert it to a .wav file. (I use a program called Audio WAV to MP3 Converter 1.22. It's a random freeware program I found on the web)
2) I then use the built in Sound Recorder program within Windows to then trim the track down to 30 seconds.
3) Now you convert the .wav file back to an .mp3 file. However, make sure that you change the encoder bit rate down to between 48 and 64. The final .mp3 file needs to be under 300kb.
4) Next email your new .mp3 file to yourphonenumber@vzwpix.com
5) Open the text message on your phone and save the sound file.
Note: There are many ways that one might find to be easier. This is just the way I do it.

Update for Patrick:
Once Verizon loads its software on the Samsung SCH-A930, playback of mp3 files is disabled/hidden. There is at least one method for playing MP3 audio files from a memory card.
1. Access debug mode
2. At this Menu, Press 0 again
3. At this User Lock screen, enter the following passcode: 8886573982
4. Scroll down and select option 4, MP3
* The phone will now look for mp3 files on your memory card.
* If you have not done this before, the program will put a new directory on the card, MY_MP3S. You can now put mp3 files on the memory card in this directory, and play them by accessing this hidden menu.
