Ive been importing mp3s from youtube to Documents by Readle as mp3 converted and never had a problem with the mp3 not being recognized as a audio file before. I followed exactly what you said, I tried and deleted my mp3s deleting the app, etc. nothing worked. Except what you just did. I love it when other people are more tech savy then me. There's always room to learn. Thank You!

Very welcome Robert. Yes it seems they changed some things in iOS 15. Glad it’s helped.

Thank you so much for explaining this so clearly and concisely. Spent hours trying figure this out, going crazy. Must have watched about 20 other vids trying to explain how to do this, but ended up every time with a ‘greyed out’ mp3. At last, I’ve managed to convert my mp3 into a WAV file and can now use as a ringtone. I wish I had watched your vid first!!!! Thanks again!

@@bogus7678 I started the process on the app called Documents. That’s where I went to the web browser to pull up a KZbin converter site. After that, it saves onto the recents tab, you hit Share and then hit save to files. That’s the part where it’ll be greyed out on GB so you go to the File Converter app to convert the file to MP3. I hope this helps ☹️🤍Try it and lmk what happens.
