Upload your MP3, it converts it to OGG format and then drop this into your ringtones folder and it will now loop!
You can also download a ringtone maker. Cut your mp3 to the sound you want make it as long as you want and save as ringtone, or different tones. Its a lot easier.

I'm not sure at all that your .ogg-ringtone will loop. Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390644

mp3 -> 3ga extension change worked and loops normally on my core prime SM-G360T:
the extension for samsung phone to recognize in Ringtones folder seems to be ogg
but in my ringtones folder, the device ringtone menu would only show added files with the 3ga format
but i did not see any good options online for converting mp3 to 3ga,
but i saw something online about just changing the file extension from mp3 to 3ga
did that, copied it to phone, then used Root Browser app to put file into
system\media\audio\ui\ringtones folder
then selected it from Ringtones option
then called my phone from another phone to verify that ringtone loops when another phone calls it
not sure if would work on all phones tho

Besides converting the mp3 to ogg I had to add a tag/field called “ANDROID_LOOP”, and set it to “true”. I used foobar2000 on Windows to do this. In foobar2000 drag the .ogg file to the playlist window, right-click the file and select "Properties" context-menu item and in the "Metadata" tab scroll to the bottom of the list and click on "+ add new" (or click CTRL + N). Enter ANDROID_LOOP and set it to true.
For more details see this page.
Oh, you can extract a part of your mp3 file to use as a ringtone using ffmpeg, as follows:
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -map 0 -c copy -ss "00:40" -to "00:50" out.mp3
This will copy from position 00:40 (0 minutes and 40 seconds) to postion 00:50 in "input.mp3" and write the result to "out.mp3". Then convert the mp3 to ogg and add the ANDROID_LOOP field (setting it to true) as described above.

guys, i have few MP3 & few OGG files which i was using them as ringtones on my previous phone.
in SGS2, i dont know how i can set custom ringtones.... i saw some OGG files in system/media/audio/ringtone folder through root explorer.
i tried copying OGG files into that folder, it allowed me. but when i went to settings/sounds/ringtone.... there it doesnt show up the newly added file...
what should i do ? is it possible to use custom ringtone on SGS2 ? if yes, how & in what format the SGS2 recognises music files....
pls let me know.... i am waiting
Hmmm think the fastest way on a clean phone would be to just play the song in the media player and then "menu > set as > phone ringtone"
Think you can also set then using kies.
Mind you I've only used mp3's so not sure if this also goes for OGG files.
hope it's somewhat usefull

You can actually put them in any partition, even on the memory card, you don't have to root so long as you put them in the correct folder:
Ringtones
/media/audio/ringtones/
Alarms
/media/audio/alarms/
Notifications
/media/audio/notifications/
I believe that any audio format that the phone can support may be used
thanks guys, i played the file & in the options i set it as ringtone. that played the trick. after choosing that mp3/ogg file as default ringtone, it showed up in sound/phone ringtone setting.... till then it was not so...
thanks for you help...
it would have been better to search for list of music files from default ringtone settings....i wish.... its okay....

You don't even need the media/audio/ folders.
My sd card just has the last folder name, and any files in there show up in the relevant selection menus.

Hi.
I've copied a few small mp3 files to the folder 'ringtones' (which was present in the root folder out of the box). Unfortunately these songs do no appear in the list of ring tones when I choose to change it in the settings.
If I select "add" a list of songs on the phone is displayed, but only those who are stored in the music folder.
I'd rather not have the ring tones stored in the music folder, any suggestions on how to find them when choosing ring tones?
All the mp3-files have worked flawlessly on other android systems (all non ICS).
/r
PS: I've also put a m4a file in the notifications folder. This one shows up as expected under the list of available notification sounds.
Strange, MP3s work fine on my ICS-running Sensation - and I put them in the same folder on my SD card...perhaps they have to be m4a now??
Got it working now.
There was a .nomedia file in that folder avoiding it to get parsed by the music applicaiton on my Desire. I tried to remove it, but that was apparently not sufficient.
I had to connect to the PC, remove all files, disconnect the phone to force update of "sd card" contents, and then connect again to copy back the same files.

Ballache!! But at least we know what to check now! Good find
Install something like Tone Picker.
Well,this is very easy and i will explain it to you in simple steps:
Requisites:
-Had a sound/notification sound/music file etc.
-Root Explorer ( obviusly had to be root)
Okay,lets start:
Step 1: Download the sound and put in your SDCARD.
Step 2: Go to your mobile and open root explorer,navigate to where did you left the sound.
Step 3:Move it to SYSTEM/MEDIA/NOTIFICATIONS.
Step 4:Set rw-r--r-- permissions
Step 5:Reboot device
Step 6: It will shows as a stock sound.
Extra:
If you dont know what are the permission to tick in,see attached imaged below.
To prove it works,ill let you the S3/S2 Whistle Sound link below.
THANKS BUTTOM IF U LIKED MY WORK ENJOY.
REGARDS.-

You can also have them on sdcard
1.create on your sd card root folder "media"
2. inside media create folder "audio"
3. and inside audio create "alarms", "notifications", "ringtones"
now you can put your music files into folder to have them
as notify sound, alarm or ringtone
OP, also add that the music/sound files have to be in a .ogg format.
well my sound files are in mp3 format and i dont have problem with them

I thought this was a way to code into system... if you don't know how to replace a system file why are you even on XDA

I have a custom sound file, wav format, that I like to use a my default notification sound. However I have found an issue with Android on not only my M9, but it has happened on my S3/S4. The file was named approach.wav. I could open this file in any player and it played perfectly. But if I placed it in the notifications directory, it wouldn't show up in the list of available sounds. But if I renamed it to approach1.wav, it would appear.
So is there something about the name approach, that would prevent it from showing up in the list?
No, there are two notification folders, put it in both
Hey What's up.
I cutted a scene from a Video (TS format), Duration 0:16 .
Then I converted it from TS to Mp3, Wav, MP4, MP4A
and transfered it to the phone. No matter what format I tried, the file doesn't open, can't change the default ringtone
because the phone does not detect it in Files Manager nor Music.
I tried to open the files followed download paths (where it stored on phone) I recieve Error(1). What to do?
Rebbot your phone, to allow the system to poll new files and list them properly, then use a file explorer (I recommend you use MiX File Explorer as it works best), and move the ringtone you've just made to this directory:
storage/emulated/MIUI/.ringtone/
(Or your internal storage directory) then open settings and it will appear quickly. Ringtones can me *.MP3, *.OGG, or even *.WAV I believe. The reason Music doesn't see it is because in the Music app, it filters out small files and short music so it doesn't clutter up if you have actual music there. Below is a screenshot of the default settings:
