Samsung S401i- No mp3 ringtones?

Hello all,

Ive just bought the wife the mentioned phone and although it has mp3 music player and bluetooth,i cannot change the ringtones to a mp3 tune.It says not allowed.
There seems to be only a very poor 10 default ringtones.
What format would i need to be able to add ringtones to the phone and be able to use without the dreaded "NOT ALLOWED".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Me again,
Ive sussed it.
I converted a mp3 file to a .aac file as the music file and it can be used as ringtones.
If anyones interested the converter i used is a website called http://media-convert.com/ .

Thats ok, seems silly that mp3's cant be used as ringtones only .aac's.
Hope it's worked for you.
