I've managed to make a few MP3 files using Audacity and encoding with LAME. The file is 117kb and I email it to my phone and it doesnt work. I even tried renaming the file to .mid with no success. The original file started out as an MP3 and I choped and encoded. Why wouldnt this work? what am I missing?

what encoding settings are you using??

play the file back in WinAMP and do a "file info"... post what it says...

make sure the mp3 is set at a constant bit rate, not variable. recommended bit rate settings is between 32 and 192kbps. Stereo or mono is up to you.

You should be able to use LAME to encode as 48kbit or 64kbit... 44khz... Mono...

that should make it mpeg 1.0 Layer 3.

I use Cooledit Pro... You can also use Nero Wave Editor (comes with Nero Ultra Edition...

I use MP3-Pro encoder with Nero.
Hope this helps..

I have had nothing but success using LAME (via RazorLAME) to encode for my E815, and all the other phones.

Hope this helps..
