Convert from mp3 to mmf - Different way

I got many questions about how to convert from mp3 to mmf. I do it different way than others and it works fine. One thing you need to realize is that due the limited phone memory, you can only make little less than 20 seconds length of mp3 ringtone & you could store up to 3, maybe 4 converted mmf ringtones.

To do this, you need 2 softwares.
1. Sound forge 5.0 or 6.0 (I got this at Kazaa. I hope you have fast internet connection to download b/c it's little big)
2. yahama converter program; exact name of this file is WSC-MA2-SMAF-u.zip. (you can find this at yamaha website. Go to smaf)

After you've got the softwares, open them.

Open the sound forge software.
1. Go to File>Open. Select the mp3 file you like to convert.
2. Due to the size of the file, you need know that the maximum size to convert is 19~20 sec. The phone cannot contain the whole song. After it opens, you need to ¡°click & drag¡± (like highlighting the sentence in word processor) the segment that you want to convert. Remember maximum you can convert is less than 19~20 second.
3. Press ¡°play¡± button to see if it plays only the dragged segment. If I were you, I would play with this software little bit. It¡¯s not too difficult to use.
4. After you¡¯ve ¡°click & drag¡± the segment, go to Edit> Copy.
5. Then Go to File>New. It will open up a new file window. Then Go to Edit> paste.
6. New Go to File>Properties. Then click on the Format tab.
7. Leave everything as it is except for the Channels which switch it to Mono.
-So Sample rate= 44,100/// Bit-depth= 16 bit//// Channels = mono.
8. After you click OK, it will ask you ¡°Stereo to Mono¡±. Click Mix Channels and click OK.
9. Now go to Process>Resample
10. As it opens the Resample window, go to Preset> Resample to 8000 Hz with anti-alias filter. Leave everything as it is. Click OK.
11. You¡¯ve just created mp3 to wav file, but the sound quality has not been badly affected even though it¡¯s down to 8000 Hz and the file size has been tremendously decreased.
12. Go to File> Save as and Save this wav file you¡¯ve just created. Don¡¯t forget where you save this file.

-Now open the yamaha converter tool. It will say drag wav file into here. Find the wav file you¡¯ve just created. Click and drag into the yamaha program. DON¡¯T FORGET TO click 8 kh to 4 kh. This will definitely affect the sound quality of the file, but you have no choice to do this b/c phone can¡¯t be downloaded big size of file. Now, it will create the ¡°*.mmf¡± file. (I think it also creates *.sfx , but you don¡¯t need this). All you have to do now is use GPRS program to download the file.
-Several things to know. The max file size you can download to phone is 39~40 kb. I believe 20 seconds of mp3 file is about 39~40 kb. Also phone does have limited size of memory so you could only put few converted mmf file in your phone.
GOOD LUCK!~

Great way of doing it, thanks for that info

just have 2 questions. When dragging the new .wave file to the yamaha convertor it says Caution! Wave file not supported then it doesnt do anything, i have the same version in the instructions if anyone has an answer that'd be great

Second is, i have tmobile and a v205 with no data cable. Is there a way to get these files to the phone ? i have tzones if that helps. I've heard of myphonefiles.com and they seem to be a great site but when i try to upload a .mmf file to that website it says its invalid? i thought the 205 could only take .mmf files. Thanks alot for the answers to the questions! :0

i am having the same problems, i have an MP3 preview taken from a site for premium polyphonics, and really wanna convert it to MMF

I believe the yamaha converter program is only able to convert a small size of wav file to mmf. The reason I think it says "caution... wav..." is the wav file size you try to convert is too big. If you do what I told you to do, (maximum of 20 seconds of mp3 file length), it shouldn't say "caution...".

As far as transferring the file to your phone, there are 3 ways that are possible.
1. WAP
2. transfer cable (using GPRS)
3. Infrared (using GPRS)

I don't know how to use WAP. I think you need a internet service for your phone (t-zone). I am not sure though.
I try to use transfer cable, but I couldn't get it to work. Only way I do it to transfer is to use "infrared" which I believe you need a laptop.

i cut down the .wave file to less then 20 secs and it still does the caution thing :\ not sure what the prob is. Second is, if anyone knows the way of getting the ringtone to the phone using WAP that would be great, i have a v205 with tmobile and i have tzones. Thanks.

good little program, only trouble is im getting a distorted last second to the loop... it's not my wav file, that loops perfect, its just the mmf when played on the phone?

hey, i have followed all your advice to what you posted and yet nothing, im doing it all right and it wont work in converting, i really need to get it sorted as you know the ringtones in the samsung are shit and ive got it on the space one as the rest do my head in, and i really need to customize it, can you please help lol

cheers

i would just like to say i tried it again, and it wouldnt work, there must be a setting or somthing thats missed out, becuase its says a limit of 19-20 seconds, im only doing 10 seconds at most and still nothing,

unless somebody wants to prove me wrong, it doesnt work!

Is there any way I can make the ringtone sound a lot better meaning w/out any distortion w/in the song?? cause I made a song & everything, but i can barely understand what it's saying... any help would be surely appreciated
