Hi,
I want to snip an mp3 to have as my message alert tone, rather than it play the entire song when I receive a text message
Is there a native way to do this?
Is there something in warehouse or jolla store?
Thanks

The first response is a suitable answer. The steps were:
I used a web tool on my PC to edit the desired .mp3
I copied it to my phone (not SD card)
I removed my SD card (3000+ songs on SD card)
I selected the (>9") .mp3 as my message alert
I rebooted my phone :)

No, not to my knowledge, this is a case of DIY on PC and send it back to device.

A graphical tool to crop music files would probably be fairly straightforward to develop (as all the basic building blocks are already there), but I think it's easiest if you just use your computer instead, as it will be much easier to select the part you want with a mouse, than to poke with your finger at an imprecise small touch screen. You could use Audacity (be sure to look at the 'MP3 Support' link).
