Okay I got P2Kman to work and uploaded some midis... but now my phone won't let me set them as ringtones. What did I do wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

Here is the help I received and it worked for me:
Even though the audio files are physically there and able to be played from the multimedia menu, the list of audio files used from the ringtone menu is pulled from a couple 'database' files rather than just listing all of the audio files on your phone. So when you just download an audio file using p2kman, that audio file isn't known by the database files.
I don't know if there is a way to just add an entry to the database files, but I do know how you can force the phone to build new database files with the names of all of the audio files you currently have on your phone. This is what I did, and it worked fine. After downloading all audio files you'd like to use as ringtones, delete the following 2 files (which should be in the same folder as the audio files) using p2kman: MyToneDB.db and TempToneDB.db. Now restart your phone (either using the p2kman restart feature, or, just shutting your phone off and turning it back on).
When the phone starts back up and finds that those .db files do not exist, it automatically rebuilds them by using any audio files that currently exist on the phone. You should now be able to find your new audio files in the list of potential ringtones to select for your various ring styles.
Just to be safe, you might want to back up those 2 .db files by uploading them to your computer before blowing them away, but I've done this procedure a number of times on my V180 and haven't had any trouble.

Yeah, I was having the same problem as soraxcloud and now that I've done what sunnyblueskies suggested my phone works just fine. It does make sense though. No problems here.

usually restarting the phone can fix the problem of it not showing up, also try using mp3 files as ringtones.
