My preferred mp3 ringtone suddenly can't be selected

Other

I've always had one specific mp3 as my ringtone. One day, my phone went back to the default ringtone, and I'm unable to select my mp3 again – it's just gone from the long list of mp3s I can see in Settings > Ringtone > Custom: On this device.

How can I get it back as my ringtone?

The mp3 is on my phone and I can find and play it using other apps. I've tried renaming it and moving it into other folders, including Ringtones, but nothing seems to help. How can I get Settings to realize that the mp3 exists? For instance, is there anything I can do to make Android re-index music files? I've seen recommendations to clear data from Media Storage, but that option is greyed out for me.

Use a music app like jet audio and play the song in the app.on the track playing page you can find three dots which has an option of "set as ringtone" then click.you are done.give a missed call from other phones to confirm it.see u.
