mp3 to ringtone

[JamesB]

Im looking for a program that will allow me to edit mp3 files to save them down to the 30 second or so limit for cell phone ring tones.

im getting a new phone Monday (Moto RAZR V3xx, the 3g RAZR). I have a 2 gig MicroSD card ready to put tons of mp3's on it (I am resampling a bunch down to 64 bit) and I want to use some of the MP3's I have as ring tones.

I found a good program to resample them down to the lower bit rate, but cant find anything with and good reviews for editing MP3's

Have you tried Audacity?

[JamesB]

no, I was gonna download it but I got mediamonkey instead. i did not see where either would allow you to edit an mp3 to any length you wanted

I have audacity... you can trim the composition down (export selection as .mp3).

A friend of mine at work uses Audacity and swears by it. He uses it to edit down MP3 to just have what he wants for the ringtone and I believe to resample at whatever bit rate he wants.

ok i grabbed Audacity and the lame plugin and have a few mp3's cut down to size.

im only gonna do a few to see if it wil work, then I will go nuts next week after i get my new phone on monday
