Take about any midi you find on here, and run it through "Nokia SoundConverter" (included in Nokia PC Suite, which is free).

It'll convert your midi to sp-midi and allow you to optimize it for your phone.

Yes and no.

My Motorola will take about any midi I upload.

With Nokia phones, it's A LOT trickier.
Many models need sp-midi (not type-1 or type-0), and you have to keep in mind that it only plays a certain number of notes simultaneously.
If you have a 4-chord model, and your midi has, say, 10 chords, it's going to sound really bad, if it plays at all.

The fact that a Midi plays fine on Motorola, Siemens or SonyEricsson does NOT mean it will work on a Nokia!
At least, not without extra work.


With Samsung, I wouldn't worry too much. Max. chords, probably. Most Samsung phones use mmf-Tones, though, not midi.
If there's any problems, try using PSMPlayer to convert midi to mmf.

I am in the process of setting up some ringtones for my new Samsung A650. I keep seeing posts referring to ringtones for a specific phone. Is this just for those who don't know what format their phone can handle?? Since I already know the A650 will handle midi. I can just use any midi file of the righ length that I can lay my hands on...right? Or am I wrong? Is there something else that needs to factor in??
