Use iTunes to create MP3 ringtones for cellphones
Authored by: diskiller on May 26, '04 02:02:28AM

As the other posted said, many new cellphones (mainly the smartphones) can play mp3's as ring tones.

My Sony Ericsson P900 is one. What you want, though, is not the entire damn song playing, especially when alot of songs have a "slow start". You want to edit the mp3, and get it to start right at a nice loud part at the start of the chorus or something like that.

Same thing you want to do on the older polyphonic phones that could play midis. Many midi's of songs started slow, some even had several seconds (as many as 5 to 10 seconds) of nothing at the start. Does you no good that your phone has already been ringing 5 to 10 seconds before the midi starts playing cuz there's nothing at the start. So you need to edit your midi or mp3 so its appropriate for us as a ringtone.

As for me: I like a nice quiet soothing mp3 for my alarm, and my ringtone is one of the Sony Ericsson polyphonic ringtones that came with my T610 (so its a midi i think). Maybe i'll bother editing up a nice mp3 ringtone with this hint now :)

This all sounds cool enough to make me want a phone that does this, so that I could record myself doing guitar riffs to use as ringtones. I'm glad you submitted the tip, and it's fantastic to hear from others about which specific phones we can put our own MP3 ringtones into. The tip about using the Palm wrapper was a valuable piece of arcana, too -- thanks!
