"How do I create voice ringers from MP3 or WAV files?"

Due to various users PMing me saying that Winamp 2.9 is hard to find, I created slightly newer instructions to make your own voice ringers, with a different program.

To do so, you need 4 programs:

* Winamp v 2.9, avaliable here: http://classic.winamp.com/
OR
* EtalonSoft Mp3Decode, avaliable here: http://www.etalonsoft.com/mp3decode.html

* Windows Sound Recorder : installed by default on all windows-based PCs. Located in the Start Menu->Programs->Accessories->Entertainment

* Qualcom's "PureVoice Converter for Windows" and "PureVoice Player and Recorder", avaliable to download from: http://www.cdmatech.com/solutions/p...ce_download.jsp

** The PureVoice Player/Recorder is optional. Install it only if you want to listen to the *.qcp files which are created when you do the conversion. **

Once you have all 3/4 programs installed on your computer, you are ready to create your ringer.

First you need to extract the PVConverter.zip file into a folder on your hard drive. A good location would be "C:\PVConverter\".

Winamp Instructions
Now here is where you have to make sure you follow these directions perfectly. First take an MP3 or WAV file and open it in Winamp. Make sure not to hit play.

Go to the Winamp Options menu and change the output format to "Nullsoft DiskWriter". Then click on the configure button, and change the output directory to "C:\PVConverter\" or which every directory you used when you extracted the PVConverter.

Check the box which says "Convert to format" and click on the "..." button. From that list, select "PCM 8.000 kHz, 16 Bit, Mono" and press the OK button.

Now click on the play button and Winamp will create a WAV file for you. Make sure to listen to this file, as it will be then cropped and used to create the ringer. If you dont like how it sounds, try another file. Once you are satisfied with the WAV file, you can move to the next step with is cropping the file.

Run the Sound Recorder program and goto "File->Open" and point the program to the same directory where you installed the PVConverter and where the WAV was stored when it was created by Winamp.

Listen the file, and when you find a position you would like the ringer to start, press pause, and goto the Edit menu and select "Delete before current position". Then continue playing it till you find a postition you would like to stop on. Once you find it, click on "Edit->Delete after current position".

Now if you want to make the ringer louder, use the option to increase volume by 25%. This will make the final ringer louder.

Now scroll down to the instructions for PureVoice Conversion Instructions.

Mp3Decode Instructions
Open the program, and click on the ADD button, and select the MP3 file you want to convert into WAV. Set the output folder to the same one as the PV Convertor, and click on DECODE. This will create a WAV file from the original MP3 file you had in the output folder.

Run the Sound Recorder program and goto "File->Open" and point the program to the same directory where you saved the WAV file.

Listen the file, and when you find a position you would like the ringer to start, press pause, and goto the Edit menu and select "Delete before current position". Then continue playing it till you find a postition you would like to stop on. Once you find it, click on "Edit->Delete after current position". Now if you want to make the ringer louder, use the option to increase volume by 25%. This will make the final ringer louder.

Once you do that, goto File -> Save As, and it will open a window which will prompt you for a file name. There is an option which states "Format" and a box which says "Change...". Click on that box, and set the format to PCM 8.000 kHz, 16 Bit, Mono. Press OK, and click on Save. You now are left with a WAV file which is about 300 to 500kb in size, depending on the lenght of the file. Now move down to PureVoice Conversion Instructions.

PureVoice Conversion Instructions
Note: The files should be less then 30 seconds in length, because after that, the phone goes automatically into voicemail.

Make sure to save the file into the same directory as the PVConverter is installed, and to give it a name with no spaces. That was actually the hardest and most time-consuming part. Once you have created this small file, you are ready to convert it.

Goto the Windows Explorer and open up the folder where you saved the WAV file. This should be the same folder where the PVConverter is saved. Just drag the WAV file onto the "PVConv.exe" file, and it will automatically create the "*.qcp" file.

Example: I create a WAV file called "TestingForDeval.wav". When I drag this file onto the icon for "PVConv.exe", it will create a "TestingForDeval.qcp" file. This file can be played using the optional player which can be downloaded from the site on the top.

Once this file is created, goto http://www.sprintusers.com/focus , enter your phone number and the path of the file, and you will have your new custom ringer sent right to your phone. Enjoy

damn, seems like a lot of work man

ive always wondered how to do this stuff, thanks

Does anyone know how to improve the quality of this conversion? I converted an instrumental of Wu-Tang Clan - Triumph to .qcp and put it on my phone and there is a lot of static and such when it plays on the phone, anyone have any ideas to reduce this at all or to improve the quality during conversion or anything like that?
