You could open the Walkman app find the song then tap the arrow pointing down and to the right then tap Set as ringtone

or you could use an app such as ringdroid

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ringdroid&hl=en

to select any segment of a song as a ringtone.

Try to reset app preferences under settings-apps-all and set any song as your ringtone.

I am not sure I understand what do you mean by save. you just want to set a ringtone from walkman.

Just paste the file into following folder. If it doesn't exist, create one inside and name it corectly. This is how your Walkman won't see the file, but will be recognized when choosing tone for corresponding alert.
