Can someone point me into the direction into getting a program that can make mp3 songs into ringtones? Thanks

JackNaylorPE

Me too.......I want the alarm clock sequence from Pink Floyd's Money on there as my ringtone !!!!....That will make sure I get everyone really PO'd when the phone goes off in crowded room, conference room, movie or restaurant !!!

Only kidding.....I just thought what would happen to the poor guy who had that and forgot to turn his phone off as etiquette demands. I wonder if you can add "phone rage" injuries to your insurance plan.

MP3 workshop http://www.econg.com/ezmp3/ free trial or $19.95 to buy
Dexter Mp3 http://www.softdivshareware.com/audioeditor.html $40.00 to buy

*Sorry I dont know of any free ones that work as good as these for cutting MP3, MP3 Workshop is more for the novice and and easy to use Dexter more professional and more buttons

Of course after you make your ringtone you will need a ringtone player such as Ringo to play them.

MP3cutter (search google) has a demo which gives 1 minute of cut, this is usually ample for a ring tone, especially if you use something like Phone Technician to repeat, flash the LED and vibrate if you want lots of attention grabbers. Makes for a cheap method. You can use either MMPlayer or PTunes with Technician. I have tried the Nokia Converter to make AMR files but the quality is terribly poor and cannot be improved upon.

timexx8, so what you gave a link to is to cut mp3s? i can do that easily. So i need Ringo app to play the mp3s on the treo 650? Can you link me, thanks

oh, and one more thing, how would i go about putting a mp3 onto the handheld? I just tried to use "palm desktop" and go under media but it wouldnt let me add mp3. which program can do this?

timexx8

This is the maker of Ringo http://electricpocket.com/index.html , I do not have my mp3 rings on the handheld they are on my memory card which is always in the phone, if it is out I still have the vibrate

2 possibly stupid questions after having used MP3 workshop.

1. Does Treo 650 support .wav ringtones?

2. .Wav files are huge, am I crazy or will 2 1 min .wavs consume all the memory on my Treo? What's the solution here?

masonuc

Okay I answered my own questions by even compressed, wavs are memory hogs (300k for 30 sec).

tcatnat

Can someone verify this: I thought .wav files were smaller than .mp3 files of the same bitrate.

here is what you need.

mp3ringer or lightwav midi/wav/mp3/ogg ringtone managers

you will need an mp3 player like PocketTunes or AeroPlayer.

all you do is install the ringtone manager and the audio player into ram then hotsync your native mp3 files to the card and configure the ringtone. both mp3ringer and lightwav lets you put wav and mp3 in ram for PocketTunes.

Lightwav also does full screen jpg and gif animation callerID plus lightwav can block voice callerID too!!

OK, I almost started a new topic, but the built in search found this thread so I will post here.

I have been using an MP3 Slicer program that is so easy to use. I did a google search for MP3 Slicer, and I believe it's the first link. Its Version 1.2. You can PM me for the registration code, or just pay the $10 which is really worth it from the work that the owner put into it.

I also downloaded an MP3/wave editor program for free from another site. I don't know the name off the top of my head as I'm at work. A wave/MP3 editing program is useful because it helps to do fade ins and outs, as well as adjusting volume/gains and you can add a whole slew of effects like reverb and flange, etc.

Ringtones are perfect at 30 seconds long. The MP3 slicer allows you to find the part of the track that you want to hear as the ringtone.

Again, PM me and I will try to respond as soon as possible.

Yes thanks also, I had a friend who was looking for this.

minitones or musictones both are free and will convert mp3s to ringtones

music tones is a tad newer.
