Re: can you make a phone with poly ringtones play real tones
Sometimes, you can trick a phone into playing mp3 ringtones by giving the file a false extension. With my phone, there is not supposed to be any support for mp3 files, but I found that by erasing the .mp3 from the end of the file and changing it to .qcp all of a sudden my phone plays high quality mp3 ringtones. Some Verizon users have reported the same result by giving their mp3 files a false .mid extension. It's worth a try, and if it doesn't work I can tell you of a program to make qcp files that seems to produce a slightly better quality than the purevoice converter (still not great).

This might not work at all for your phone model, it really depends on if the manufacturer put mp3 codecs on the phone which the provider may have later disabled in order to sell their own ringtones.Last edited by Brad729; 09-06-2006 at 11:06 AM.

In other words you'll get better quality if you decrease a higher bitrate song to amr rather than a lower one. Remember the bitrate is really a lot lower on amr, so you wouldn't get 80kbps (neither 32 for that matter). I just used that for an example. Give it a go though.
