I can't set music as a ringtone!

AC Question

I use a motorola moto g 2nd gen, running Android 5.0.2
i went to change my ringtone to music i have on the phone, but it only showed the default ringtones, so i download ES file explorer.
i managed to set my music file as a ringtone, however when someone calls i only hear a sort of weird noise like the error sound in windows xp. thanks Obama. pretty weird so how do i solve this problem.
thanks in advance :)

Welcome to Android Central! Use the file manager app to copy that music file to the Ringtones directory (on Internal Storage, not the microSD card). When you go to the menu to select a ringtone, it should now show up. You might have to reboot the phone first.

I tried that and it gives me an error, (read-only file system).
It already is in the list because of selecting it with es file explorer earlier, but like I said instead of the ringtone I get a weird noise
