mobile audio format http://www.allegro.cc/forums/view/593504 Allegro.cc Forum Thread matthew@allegro.cc (Matthew Leverton) Thu, 11 Oct 2007 15:48:28 +0000

Hello,
my mobile phone (a SonyEricsson P800) supports these audio formats:

  • AMR

  • AU

  • iMelody

  • MIDI

  • RMF

  • WAV

for ringtones, plus these:

  • MP3

  • G-MIDI level 1

in the audio player.

I need to set a sound for the alarm and it doesn't support MP3's, so I guess I have to choose a format from the first list.

Can you suggest the best format between those? And a free tool to convert from WAV to it? File size isn't a problem :)

My guess would be MIDI, too bad it sounds like shit...

Perhaps you can convert your MP3 to AMR online...

I tried AMR and it sounds really bad.

ATM I'm using .au, does MIDI sound better than them?

Use WAV. No conversion -> No quality loss.
And since you said that size isn't an issue, there's no reason not to use it.

You're right, in fact... ;D

MIDI is control information for the onboard synthesizer chip of your phone (probably another Yamaha OPL chip), you can't store actual sound in it. RMF is a container format, you might want to look into what it can actually contain and of those, what can your phone play out of it.

Another vote for WAV :)

My vote is on getting a phone that can play mp3's as ringtones. :)

My vote is to turn your farking ringer off and just let it buzz in your pocket. Nobody wants to hear your rap music.
