Audiovox CDM-9900

WHOA! That is the problem right there! Try using goldwave to bring the mp3 down to 22050Hz, 24Kbps, mono. Then make it a *.mid file. If that doesn't work then u may have to only use part of the song. Goldwave can also be used to do that. www.goldwave.com
GOOD LUCK! 😁

but it is not an MP3, it is a regular midi i got from a website

OK, this is out of my league... but perhaps this will catch someone's eye that CAN help you.

This guy has a 5.59mb midi file he wants to make smaller or cut it so it can be used as a ringtone. Anyone out there able to help?

whoa im sorry it is a 5.59 KB file ...not MB...it still will not work

ok.. then that is very small. Does the phone tell u there is a sound file attached, or just a file attached?

just file attatched

ok.. the only thing that i know could be the file is names *.midi instead of *.mid. you could try renaming it again and one more try on sending it thru yahoo mail. I am baffled. Sorry.

it wouldnt make a difference if i send through AOL mail or yahoo mail right?

Can't answer that. I know that people have had problems with hotmail and outlook express changing the *.mid to *.midi

if i post the filename would you be able/willing to tell me if its wrong?

not really because if the email program changes the filename.. it would only be changed in the phone itself i think.

ok thank you anyway...if anyone would like to lend me a large hand and send me a midi file they have converted, i would greatly appreciate it...3017872818@vzwpix.com

What is the song title and artist u are looking for?

eminem-just lose it

hey just wanted to extend a thanks to everyone who puts out help...you guys are great!

i sent a ringtone... hope it works! don't forget to save the sound.

IT WORKS THANK YOU SOO MUCH

congrats on your 1 year anniversary. Even tho i really don't like eminem... i hope she enjoys it! lol

I'm having the same problem, it doesn't play on the phone. When I download a regular midi from the internet, it only plays on QuickTime, and not on Windows Media, however when I download an mp3 (30 secs.) and change the file name, it will not play in QuickTime player, saying it is not a recognized file, but it plays on Windows Media, so I think the filename is changing but the file itself is not. Maybe??? And whatever plays in Quicktime, is easily received on my phone, anything that does not play on quicktime, just plays silence. Any ideas, I tried following all the steps in the other threads. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

I know this issue is resolved for Joey, but just as an FYI, I have successfully converted MP3s to Midi (.MID) and send to my phone using hotmail.

As long as the Bitrate and File size are OK, it works fine.

this is probably a stupid question, but does it matter where the file is saved? I save all my files on the desktop. Thanks

Won't matter, as long as you can find them when it comes time to attch to the Email. My first attemtp was a silent file as described earlier in this thread, but I relized I had reduced the bitrate too LOW. So I resaved it at 48, and it worked fine.

What did u have the bitrate set to? I went down to 24kbps and it was fine. Mine are between 30 and 90kb large.

I tried 16kbps and got a silent file 😕 . Resaved at 48kbps and it worked fine 🙂 .

well, i tried again last night and it was silent again, and maybe i had it saved too low, but the file was 92kb and the i saved it as layer 3, 16,000Hz, 16kbbs, stereo. I'll try going a little higher then, also i noticed that when i change the file from .mp3 to .mid, and when i right-click and go to properties, under summary it says that the file is invalid or corrupted, and when i click on the preview tab, it won't preview it because it says the file is invalid or corrupted. Does this happen to anyone else? Thanks again.

guys here is a good site that you can download .mid files and then upload on vzw and send to your phone. look for the ones that are somewhat smal. try this and once you have this down you can try the mp3 route and converting to .mis files.

How do you download these ringtones to your phone. Do you need a usb cable or just send them to your phone. Does Verizon still charge you for these?

Hi again. Thank you to everyone that helped me. I got the ringtone to preview, but when I tried to save, it said that the media gallery was full. I saved the mp3 as 24000Hz, 48kbbs, and the final size was 192Kb. I checked old threads, but could not find a way to fix the media gallery problem, does anyone know how to fix that??? Thanks.

size should be around 90 - 120kb.

A bit rate of 24K Mono is plenty high for the audio system in a phone...
