MP3 to format for ringtones

vitixme · 20th February 2004, 08:37

Does anyone know of an output plugin or program that will compress mp3's to a point low enough for ringtones? I'm looking for a factor of about 1kbps. I have tried the various settings in the disk_writer plugin with no success. All of the settings create files without enough compression.

Any help or links would be greatly appreciated.

You can use an audio editor program to convert to wav, downsample to 2000 Hz, convert to mono, crop it down to five or ten seconds with a fadeout, then save that file to mp3. The end result will be around 10kbps. I don't use a mobile phone so I don't know the maximum filesize you can use, but this'll definitely make the file smaller. You should check the hydrogenaudio forums to see if there's a LAME setting that helps you go smaller--but at hydrogen they tend to move in the opposite direction, bigger files and higher fidelity.
