Is anyone else experiencing low-sounding ringtones? I'm using Audacity to shorten my file, and have the volume up to the highest setting. But when I play it on my Chocolate, it's still much softer than the ringtones already pre-set on the phone.
Anyone know how to fix this?? Thanks in advance!

In Audacity, you have to go to the Effect pull down menu and "Amplify" the ringtone.

First and foremost I would like to ask anyone looking to put in your own ringtones to check there phone features and see if it supports MP3 Ringtones.
In my case I looked no farther then this web site and found mine and my girlfriends.
Multimedia
Wallpapers: 176 x 220 px
Screen Savers: 176 x 220 px
Ring Tones: 72 chord / MP3
72 chord means midi ringtones with up to 72 chords
Mp3 means just that.
Now that you know your phone supports MP3 ringtones I'll answer the most common question.
NO that does not mean you can play MP3s on your phone.
UNLESS your phone is MP3 compatible. Now you my have MP3 ringer computability but not have MP3 playability.
Next step. go to google and find
Audacity
and
Lame_enc.dll
Install Audacity and place Lame_enc.dll in a safe location.
Now the reason I choose these. One there FREE and 2 they work well together.
Now for the fun part
Run Audacity
Click file open >(navigate to the MP3 you want to clip)
Play with the program and learn the clipping and cutting features Trim you MP3 section you want out
Try to keep it under 30 seconds to save space on your phones memory anything over 20-30 seconds and your forwarding to voicemail anyhow.
Now to get volume without distortion I have a little trick.
Split the stereo track by clicking on the pull down just to the left of all the wavy little blue line you just edited.
Then in the same pull down on both channels and select MONO
Save the file as (here is the trick) a wav.
Now open windows sound recorder and select effect increase volume by 25% two times.
Save and open this new wav file in Audacity again.
To get loader repeat the 25% volume step again. I found that 2 times is a good volume without distorting the sound.
Now here is were the hard part is.
Save as MP3. Audacity may ask you to point it to the Lame_enc.dll file.
Bingo it is saved.
You can get the file smaller by using that little dropdown that you used to split the stereo tracks and mono and dropping the “set rate” to a lover Hz or the Sample rate to a lower Bit but you will loose sound quality.
Save file.
E-mail it to your Phone.
What’s your Phones E-mail Address.
Well if you do not already know it take a Pic with your Phone Camera and send it you your Yahoo address.
