Hi,

I have an MP3 music file that I want to use as a ringtone for my cell phone. The only problem is that the file is 3 MB, and my phone rejects the file as being too large. How can I reduce this file by two thirds, and only have the first third left?

Thanks!

-cinque8You can use iTunes to import it, and then burn it to a CD, and then rip it back from the CD as a lesser quality probably lower than 128k for free - the cost of burning a CD. Windows MEDIA Player can also rip it back as low quality in preferences from the CD, but the CD has to be in CD Audio Format, same format as can play in CD players, and not MP3 format or it wont work.

OR

Get a double Male Stereo Phono cable and plug it from headphone jack to microphone jack and set speaker volume to around 40% and play it with windows media player and use a audio RECORDER application to record from microphone jack and save as MP3 of a low sample rate of LESS than 128k.



All other ways of doing it require software that cost MONEY. I am not aware of a free audio editor tool that can do it. I have a few audio editors that can do it but they cost $50 for the cheapest tool that has all sorts of audio editing abilities.

I'd offer to convert it for you with software I have, but transfer of the song to me would look like piracy, and I cant have anything to do with anything illegal. Quote from: DaveLembke on September 03, 2013, 07:30:17 PM
