Posts: n/a Re: How to I get MPT to convert MP3,Wav,etc. -> my cell format? Yes, it is an excellent guide up to a point where I have a problem.When I am supposed to export my finished mp3 file and in the process rename it's extension to ".mid" . Now that didn't and as it turns out doesn't make any sense. You can't change the format of a file by renaming the file extension as the guide implies. I tried it. The new edited file plays fine as and MP3 file but not as a midi file. My v551 phone wants a midi file. I need to know how to convert an mp3 file to a midi file. I have been searching the web for a program that will do that and cannot find one.

For some reason a couple of other MP3 files read as "corrupt" on the phone. It's all good now.

At least on some phones, with Verizon Wireless anyway, the "renaming" thing is due to the VZW messaging portal converting files with the .MP3 suffix to the QCP format before sending it to the phone, and some phones won't accept QCP format for ringtones (even though they can play them). So you rename (NOT convert) the .MP3 file to .MID, taking care in the Windows file explorer to check the option to make sure suffixes are displayed, else you will rename foo.mp3 to foo.mid.mp3. The portal does not mess with files with the .MID suffix, so the file is sent unaltered to the phone. Now, the phone ignores the suffix and looks at the actual format of the file, determines it to be an MP3 file, which it is happy to use a ringtone. They key to all of this is that some tools just look at the suffix, but others look at the actual file content.
