Hello all you Reality fans......


I found a great mp3 editor, you can convert you 44.1 Khz files to 22.05 Khz and edit the length to 30 seconds. These are the requirements from the Verizon message upload site.

Here is the link : http://www.wavosaur.com/

This is totally free software and it does not install in the windows registry..just put it in a folder you can find and maybe make a short cut on you desktop.

I got a reply about qualcomm's purevoice player saying it had too much distortion.
I have had this problem also. But I found out the purevoice player converts to 8khz sampling rate. I have gotten better quality after converting to 22.05khz before using purevoice.

Another thing about the length of ringtones, Verizon says no longer than 30 sec. and that is true if you use their site to download to your phone, but i have made ringtones on my PC moved them into my ring_tone folder on my phone that are 53 sec long and they work fine.

PS..I am still loking for a better converters and sync software..

PSS..there are some free online converter which give good quality

Just a thought

Another powerful audio editor is Audacity, located at http://audacity.sourceforge.net. You'll need to download the mp3 encoder library for it separately, but instructions for doing that and setting it up with Audacity are found here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Lame_Installation. Here's the instructions on Audacity's website for using it to make ringtones: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Making_Ringtones. It also details some different sites that will allow you to send the ringtone to your phone in a SMS message.

If you want to use Bitpim, in its settings choose SCH-U750 (Alias2) for the phone. Someone had instructions in a thread on this site about browsing to the brew/mod/18067/My_Sounds folder and copying your files there. In order for the phone to recognize them after you save them there, you'll need to copy the Msinfo.db file in that folder to a folder on your pc, edit it with Wordpad, copy one of the existing lines and replace the song title with the song that you uploaded, and replace the last 0 on the line with a 5. Then save it, right-click on Msinfo.db in Bitpim and choose Overwrite, then browse to the copy that you edited on your pc. Once it has been uploaded to your phone, disconnect the phone and turn it off and turn it back on. After it comes back on, go to Media Center, Music and Tones, My Sounds, and you'll see the clip you just uploaded. Select it and choose Options, and you'll see the Set as Ringtone as an option.

If you need the full details for using Bitpim, you can Google for "uploading ringtones to Samsung Hue with Bitpim" and you should be able to find the link. If not, let me know and I'll post the link here.

Good luck!

Thanks snortman

I found the site by google and made a link. When I get time I will check it out. I haven't had any luck with bitpim, so this might help.

I use WavePad. It works like a champ. It starts out as a free trial, but continues to work as the free version after the trial period has ended. I've used this program for years.
Formats for trial/free version include mp3, wma, and wav. Conversion is easy. Just make sure you rename your saved ringtone, or it will overwrite the original file. Pretty much common sense.
Play around with the settings and find what works best for you. I prefer 22,050hz sample rate, and 64kbs for the encode. 96kbs doesn't sound that much better on my phone, and makes the file size larger unnecessarily.

So using wavepad will allow you to convert your mp3 music file to .wav format so you can send via email? Also does wavepad act like a music editor so you can reduce the length of your ringtone or is it used in combination with a program such as audacity?

Awesome program man this is totally better than audacity simply because you dont have to download the converter to save your editted music and its more user friendly. I wish this site had +rep because you deserve it.  Grin

Thanks Solracpwn. WavePad is a "do it all" program, and it's pretty easy to use. The interface is great for a beginner or someone that's experienced with sound editing.
That's why I originally chose the program. I needed something I could learn quickly, and that would record audio I had streaming in on the computer, or from a video I had playing.
I've never used Audacity, though I've seen it recommended lots of times. When I found WavePad back in 2004, I stopped looking for an audio editing program. Instead, I just download the latest version every time I build a new PC, or when I have to reload Windows. Even though the interface changes a little on each update, it's always been familiar enough I haven't had to relearn how to use it. I wish Microsoft would learn from companies like NCH. I've had to relearn how to use Windows 3 times over the years.

If you're interested (this goes out to all), I'm going to be reviewing some multimedia software for Windows on my blog. PM me, and I'll send you links to the articles as they're written.
