1. Winamp (or any program that can convert mp3 files to wav)
   I use Winamp 2.78, i tried 3.0 but never liked it so i dont know what will differ for it in these instructions.
2. Sound Recorder (or any program that can truncate wav files)
   ** this comes default on all Windows installations in Programs >> Accessories >> Entertainment in the Start menu **
3. Qualcom "PureVoice Converter for Windows" (it converts wav file to qcp files which our phones support. You need the Converter not the Recorder/Player, though it's good to install the Player also to test your qcp files before downloading them to your phone. Here's the link http://www.cdmatech.com/solutions/p...e_download.html

• Extract the PVConverter.zip file into a folder on your hard drive. I used "C:\PVConverter\" but anywhere is fine. You should also install the Recorder/Player if you want.
• Now get the mp3 file you would like to have on your phone and load it in winamp (don't hit Play just yet). Go to Winamp options and chage the output format to "Nullsoft DiskWriter". Then hit configure, change the output directory to "C:\PVConverter\" and change the format to "PCM 8.000 kHz, 16 Bit, Mono". <- This is important, PureVoice Converter won't work if its any other format. Hit OK and play your file, it will create a wave file in C:\PVConverter\. Note that there is a decrease in audio quality but its still enjoyable, It sounds like your listening to music over a phone. There's nothin you can do about that. If you dont like the way it sounds, stick to midi w/o audio.
• Open up Sound Recorder and load your new wave file. Chop up your audio to 30secs. or less using "Delete Before/After current position" on the Edit menu. The save your shorter wave file in the same folder (C:\PVConverter\). Your phone won't play more than 30secs so anything more is a waste of space and KB usage.
• There are two ways to convert your wave file to .qcp format using the converter. (Easy way) You can just drag and drop your wave file over the "PVConv.exe" file and it should output a file with that same name as your wav file but with a .qcp extension and should be significantly smaller. (Hard way) Open a DOS window, type "CD C:\PVConverter" then type "PVConv.exe file.wav" change file.wav to whatever your wav's filename is. Same results, it should output a .qcp file with the same name as your wav file. If PVConv.exe doesn't output a qcp file or outputs a 0byte file then your wave format is incorrect. Make sure you save it as "PCM 8.000 kHz, 16 Bit, Mono". If you installed the QCP Player you can listen to your file now to see what it sounds like, if it sounds like pure garbage then start over and make sure your wav format is correct.
• Now that you have your .qcp file, time to put it on the web for download. First you need to configure your webserver's mime types.Add "audio/vnd.qcelp" for the .qcp extension and "text/x-pcs-gcd" for gcd extensions.
• Then create a .gcd file, its the same format as it was for midi except the first line should read "Content-Type: audio/vnd.qcelp" instead of "Content-Type: audio/midi". The rest is the same, here's an example.
  
  Content-Type: audio/vnd.qcelp
  Content-Name: Jay-Z - IZZO(HOVA)
  Content-Version: 1.0
  Content-Vendor: Teflon
  Content-URL: http://thadon.d2g.com/pcs/qcp/jayzhova.qcp
  Content-Size: 38282
  
  Don't forget to use the exact filesize.
• Now just SMS yourself the URL to the .gcd file or type it in manually, whatever works for you. You now have music on your phone.
