I really like this phone but this issue does make me miss iTunes since I could easily download a ringtone and it would show up in my sound choices for ringtones. I downloaded ringtone maker and I still can't get the ringtone there. When I go into the phones files, the ringtone is not available under downloads, music, or ringtones. There's no option to make a copy of the ringtone or file. What I have found says to go into the Galaxy player to make a song a ringtone but all my music and the ringtone I downloaded is in Google Play and I don't know how to get the files into the Galaxy music player. I have done multiple Google searches and watched YouTube videos and could not find any remedy. If I go into the Google Play player, the ringtone is there and I'm able to play it. Yesterday, I downloaded a ringtone from Google Play but I'm unable to get the ringtone in my phones ringtone library. I transferred all of my music from iTunes to Google Play and have no music or files in the Galaxy music player. Hey all, I just switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy S5 this past Monday.
