Was searching the board to try and sort out the ringtone question when I came across this thread. When you register for that page it gives good instructions for converting MP3z into ringtones. They come out alright actually, way better than poly ones. Worth a shot.

Basically what I did was trim the MP3 using 'MP3 Trim' then converted it to *.amr and sent it to my phone.

Copy/paste from the above linked page......

--------------

MP3 Cutter Joiner
The program i am using here is available as a FREE TRIAL (allows 30 'cut tracks') or the full program is ₤13.55 use your favourite search engine to find it.

Right you have the program so lets load it up.

Clik on File then Add File browse your folders to where your full mp3 track is stored.

Select the mp3 file select Open now you will see your track listed.

OK now we are ready to select the part of the track to make our very own True Tone. Theres a few ways to do this but i suggest the following: -

Play the track all the way through. You will see in the Time column the tracks full time/length is 3:52.
Now we need to select about 10 to 15 seconds of music in order to keep the file size reasonable.

Now then to select that 10 to 15 seconds look above you will see 2 clocks marked with red arrows START and END

You can play the track all the way through and make a note of where you want to START and END or you can simply click on the START clock (during playback to select the start) and END clock (during playback to select the end) you will notice the time will appear next to the clock as above. Note i have selected 13 seconds TOTAL TIME.

Now press Cut and you will see the programme cut the track and automatically open the folder where your CUT file is stored.

Congratulations you now have a cut down ripped mp3 file ready to up to your phone.

NOW you know basicaly know what to do lets look at getting that file size smaller!!

Click on Settings at the top

Now you will notice the above picture is DIFFERENT to yours, this is simply due to the default settings i changed mine.

Just simply click on the drop down box next to channel and select MONO no need for stereo. Now look at the bitrate once more click on the drop down box now this time its set at 128Kbps and goes all the way down to 8Kbps the lower the bitrate the smaller the file but you will suffer quality loss.

Simply try for yourself through trial and error as to which bitrate suits the size of the file and quality wanted /needed.

Ovim je zavrsena optimizacija mp3 file-a

Nakon toga, potrebno je napraviti awb file koji telefon moze da koristi za zvono

With Multimedia Converter 2.0 [download] you can convert common multimedia file formats (such as MPG or MP3) to audio AMR/AWB format.
Read here about where to download and how to install Nokia Multimedia Converter

1. In the menu, select File > Open. A dialog opens. The shortcut for this is to click the Open button in the toolbar. Browse for the audio file or video with audio you want to convert and click Open. Alternatively, you can drag-and-drop a file to Multimedia Converter.

2. Select the audio format (AMR or WB-AMR) and audio bit rate. WB-AMR produces higher quality sound than AMR. Selecting a higher bit rate increases the quality of the sound, but it produces larger files.

3. It is also possible to set the maximum size of the converted file in the Max file size edit box. In MMS, the size of audio file cannot exceed certain values; for example, 100 kB, because some WAP gateways might block the transfer of larger files, operators might prefer to limit the file size to reduce air-traffic, or because not all MMS client and server implementations support large file sizes. When you set a maximum file size limit, you cannot define the audio bit rate. It's adjusted automatically so that the converted file contains the whole original file from the given start point and so that its size is equal to or smaller than the given size limit. If the given size limit is too small to meet by reducing audio bit rate, the converted file is truncated (shortened from the end).

4. You can start the conversion from an offset point. Set the time stamp of the offset in the Start time edit box. The shortcut for this is to keep the CTRL key pressed and slide the original file location indicator to the desired position. This updates the time stamp information in the Start time edit box.

5. Click Convert. Another dialog pops up and shows the progress of the conversion. After the conversion is finished, you can hear the converted audio file. You can select the original or converted audio for playback by selecting “Original” or “Converted” from the drop down menu

The converted audio file format is AMR (.amr suffix files) or WB-AMR (.awb suffix files), depending on the audio setting.

nice, but i believe someone already came up with a better method with freeware~

Didn't cost me a cent this way either. Have you a link to the other method? Always best to try everything. Later
