Free MP3 Ringtone Converters
There is a lot of ringtone content out there in MP3 format, but many cell phones need a conversion between the MP3 format and the format the cell phone supports before the MP3 files can be used as ringtones. However, there is no ringtone format war like there was for monotonic ringtones some years ago, between Enhanced Messaging (Siemens, Motorola, and SonyEricsson) and Smart Messaging (Nokia). The future of mobile ringtones is very much in MP3s (and possibly with the next generation AAC format), there are a lot of MP3 ringtones already existing, and they're easy to make by yourself. Available Free MP3 Ringtone Converters If you need to convert your ringtone from MP3 to WAV, you have lots of options when it comes to choosing a player. One good program is called Switch.
