I use Sonic Foundry ACID Music

As simple as opening up the MP3.. and then saving it as a WAV

you can do it in winamp... but i dont really remember how. you go into preferences, then the output.

i dont even have winamp on this computer, but they do have converters online that you can download.

what kind of phone you got that you can do taht with?

A WAV file will be significantly larger than its mp3 counterpart. It seems somewhat odd that you'd be able to use WAV files and not mp3s as ringtones. :thinking:

Winamp will convert mp3's into wav file by using the diskwriter plugin as the default output in the preferences. But as I said you'll be hard pressed to fit a 50mb+ wav file as a ringtone. As someone suggested above you'll need Sonic Foundry (or a similar wav/audio editing application) to cut out the part you want for your ringtone.

thanks guys. but its way too big for me to store on my phone. the wav file was 40mb. i have a 128mb mmc card for my phone but sending it to my phone, it puts the file in the phone memory which is only 3.8mb
