    I recently bought a Nokia 6600 and one of its features says that it can play True Tones as ringtones. My question is what's the difference between a True tone and a Midi ringtone. Are True tones MP3's?

    Thanks in advance.

    True Tones are basically MP3s but I believe they're in another format (.awb, I think?) and they're a smaller size (because of the lower sampling rate). Nokia should have some MP3 to True Tone converter here: https://secure.forum.nokia.com/main/1,6566,060,00.html

    Do the truetones sound good? I think that if the quality isn't that great, some truetone ringtones can get very irritating after a while...

    I have no idea what true-tones are but from what I've just read I'll be interested to find out. What phone can I buy with true-tones?

    True tones are nice. No need 2 convert to midi tones. Some more u can hear the voice.. But the cons is every phone dun have bass effect. (Mayb the Vibrate function will help about this).

    The only two I can think of are the Nokia 3300 and Nokia 6600. Probably some newer models coming out by the end of the year?

    Juz found an info on true tone(.aac).....
    Also called MPEG-2 AAC or MPEG-2 NBC, this audio codec is the logical continuation of the MP3 codec created by Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Due to advances in the technology, AAC files encoded at a 96 kbps bit rate sound slightly better than MP3s encoded at 128 kbps.

    I found this Nokia Doc... Maybe it'll be useful for the thread.

    .mmf is the format that is used on samsung mobile phones, it is not compatible on nokias. they can have effective voice sounds but are not as good quality as true tones, i own a uk 3300 and you can use actual mp3s as ringtones, i am not sure if this is the case with the US versions

    i think what nokia meant is that the phone can play .wav and .amr files as tones.. amr files are another type of compressed mp3 and trust me it doesnt sound good at all... not sure whether the 6600 can play aac files because then it will be counted as an music phone, since the 5510 (i think thats what its called) is the music phone that does that.... the nokia phones that play true tones are 3300, 6200, 6220 and 6600... 7650 and 3650 only play wavs and midis.... i think thats right!!
