about altering MP3s?

Post Reply New Topic

I need to adjust or bring for the hertzage of an MP3 big time so that we cam make a ring tone out of it. Right now, the MP3 is at 44,100 hertz, something the phone can't play. I need to bring that down to something the phone will play.

BUT...

There are tunes that we are using that are more than 44,100 hz that play just fine that use mono, 16 bit stereo and stereo. We don't understand why something we cropped nicely won't play on the phone that's in stereo and 16 bit stereo...

audacity, free.

For my phone it was also the size of the file. I matched all the specs up with the ringtones already on the phone, but it wouldnt play till I lowerd the overall size of the file. Just keep lowering everything and croping till it will play, then you will know what specs it will take

Awesome!

Works for most but not all. For example; the "we are the Borg..." from Star trek First Contact is mono, 44,100 hertz and only 16 seconds long yet the imperial march os 27 seconds long, has the same attributes as the Borg one and plays just fine.



as you can see, the vader one is bigger in size than the borg one yet has the same attributes (hertzage, bitrate, mono, etc) but I can't get the borg one to play on my phone!

have you tried it with 22khz?
or 44khz and upping the bitrate?

slows it waaaaay dooooowwwwwwnnnnnn

As well, there are internal compression formats. That has to match what the phone will take.

open sound recorder in windows, load the one that will play and select properties from the file menu. select convert and look at what it highlights. you will need to set the non-playing wav to that as well. load the one that wont play and convert it.
