MP3 to QCP converter beta

[cyclebiff]

I have designed a small (but functional) mp3 to qcp converter. I have not added any features, I need feedback at this point before I put any real work into it :) Check it out:

http://www.londonproperties.com/richie/convert.php

[blue]

I'm trying it out right now...

[blue]

No luck on my first attempt. I'm trying it again. A status bar would be very helpful.

[blue]

The ringtone doesn't even play :(

Sorry man..but hey, now I have a silent ringtone to use for some people.

[Fhantazm]

Worked GREAT for me! Thanks for the effort!

[cyclebiff]

Any ideas on features / options? Volume ? Different formats?

Let me know what you ppl would find most helpful!

Were you attemping to "trim" the clip? Make sure your mins:secs are exact for each field if you are :) ie 01:05 to 01:25.

Like stated above, a status bar would be helpful. Also if possible a volume slider. Thanks again!

[cyclebiff]

Anybody else try this?

[Bumble]

I just tried it out, it worked. One small issue, when i typed in 00:30 for the end, it did 3 seconds.

Thanks! Works great for me. I tried it twice. A way to change the volume would be great, but other than that, thanks!!!

[cyclebiff]

I should have a few more options added by tonight :) Many more advanced options are in the making.... richie

[PhoneBone]

it works... but yeah like stated earlier, volume slider to increase volume would be nice… low end frequencies produces distortion on these tiny speakers so if there is a way to turn those frequencies down would also be nice… i guess i could do that myself on an editor before conversion… anyway, keep up the good work…

[neesley]

Works for me.

[goodeye18]

It worked great for me too. I did a Minutes worth of a song and It cam out great!

awesome, thank you cyclebiff!! http://deephousepage.com/smilies/beerchug.gif
worked for me on the first try to my sanyo 7300.
i use mp3 but would imagine that accepting other formats would be a +.
my only request would be a volume control to make it louder.
would it matter if my mp3 was louder or not?
as for the trim start|stop time thing. is that for using a part that's in the middle of the song?
please explain the triming more. other that that works great.
hats off!

[SlickShoes]

It's not working, is the page down??? (cannot find server) When the convert button is pushed... :confused:

[PhoneBone]

i edited the mp3 file, increasing the volume and decreasing the bass a little to limit distortion and it works… thanks for the tool, much faster than me doing it myself…

[one2ku]

It's not working, is the page down??? (cannot find server) When the convert button is pushed... :confused:
That's wierd. I just used it this morning. Maybe you should pm cyclebiff.

[djscribble]

i have now converted 6 ringtones and in 4 of the 6 there is distortion in the song, one just converted to a hiccup and the last converted perfectly.

[magno]

This Thing Is Awesome!!!
except one was distorted....

[cyclebiff]

I still need more feedback..

[one2ku]

I still need more feedback..
I've been editing songs before I convert just as PhoneBone did and the ringer sounded much better. I've only done 2 rings so far but they are way louder than all other voice ringers I've ever downloaded. Not to mention I can edit them to contain the best parts of the song myself. Pretty much for me you've taken the hardest part out of the way with your converter. Being on a Mac and trying to get the converting programs (qualcom pure voice) was a big hastle for me. My computer crashed (big time) when trying to download the program which I wouldn't even be able to convert anyways on a Mac. So that's my story. I'll keep you posted with my converting updates.

[SlickShoes]

Cyclebiff, I emailed you last night...I got it to work at home, got the qcp file, uploaded it to my phone using the focus uploader here and all of them I tried, 5 or so...were all completely distorted couldn't make out any song. I only tried one mp3, so I'll try another when I get home... I have a Toshiba 4050 is it compatible?? Thanks again :confused:

i got a vm4050 too and some songs are super distorted...

[AmercanEgleDude]

Thanks! This is awsome, although my first one came out too low in volume.

Volume changing ability and a status bar would be great.

Thanks alot!

[hailhorror77]

anyone know the differences between real tones for various mobile companies. i am trying to configure an app. that will allow users to convert/upload tones for a few different providers.

i am having difficulty finding information on this.

do they all use qcp files?

could you upload tones via sprint utilities like focus or www.t1mmy.net/visionTool.html?

any help is greatly appreciated!

http://www.londonproperties.com/richie/convert.php

My song came out very soft and fast. Is there a tool that will let me play the QCP without sending it to my phone?

[one2ku]

cyclebiff-
just used the converter and
i got this message when it was finished:
Warning: unlink(): No such file or directory in /home/sites/site9/web/richie/convert.php on line 35

Warning: unlink(/home/sites/site9/web/richie/62411102.mp3): No such file or directory in /home/sites/site9/web/richie/convert.php on line 51
Your file was sucessfully converted! You can download it (for the next 10 minutes) at: http://www.londonproperties.com/richie/51437465.qcp(Hint: right click, save as).

even so i used the focus uploader and i downloaded to my phone fine except there was no song.
the mp3 was 5:33 and i wanted it to trim from 3:19 to 3:51
if that helps.
the second one i did had the same error but i didn't even try to send it to my phone. that one was 6:24 and i wanted to trim 00:00 to 00.31

[DcDave63]

When I tried it, my song came out as if someone had sped up the timing...like it compressed the speed of the file and instead of playing it for 6:30, it compressed down to the 00:30 that I wanted for my ringer. Sound was good overall, but a little lower than I would have liked for my phone.

[BlkChubMD]

Didn't work for me. Tried two different songs. One just came out as 1 second of silence, the other had 1 second of a ripping noise. When looped, it sounds like someone scratching a record on the turntables.

Tips:
Like others said, volume & status bar needed. On my computer, it just sits there for about 5 minutes, seemingly not doing anything. There was no loading, or no computer noise for a while. Made me think that it wasn't going to do anything. Then all of a sudden...the download link popped up.

Something new you may try. A preview of the song on the website or a wav version to save to computer so we can know what it sounds like before we go through the trouble of sending it to our phone with the focus uploader would be awseome.

Thanx for the effort though. At least someone out here is trying to do it. Keep up the good work. Let me know when its finished.

Hey:

What program you use on your mac to edit songs?

Hi BlkChubMD,

I use Sound Studio 2.0.7

http://www.felttip.com/products/soundstudio/

I use this for everything.

Good luck.

[cyclebiff]

Sorry I have made the new converter public, allowing more options has created more bugs that take time to fix...

Be patient :)

Good Work. Let Me Know When A New Version Comes Out. Thanks :)

[mactruck]

Works great! No problems here, and it saves mucho time over the old way of doing it all by hand! Thanks!

[one2ku]

No problem. I'm sure you'll find many other uses for Sound Studio.
Once the mp3 converter is complete ringers will be a breeze.
All Good!

i have an imac and use cyclebiff's converter.
you just need an mp3.

[djfreake]

okay it says that I successfully converted the file and I saved it to my computer, now what how do I get it onto my phone? Sorry for the silly questions, but I have never done this kind of thing before. Do I need another program to get it onto my phone?

[NikkiRox1]

Never mind about that I used 3gupload to get the ringer on my phone but it didn't work the ringer I mean it was totally silent. Why is that?

[Marlon_JB2]

Dude, you rock. This works perfectly, and is way better than any ringer I could make!

[SlickShoes]

I've tried this like 10 times on my Toshiba 4050 and it doesn't work, qcp comes out totally loud and all garbled...anyone have any luck??]

need some help. i guess i tried doing it.....it said converted successfully....then what do i dO?-

[artmonkey]

Thanks cyclebiff! It works great on my Samsung VGA1000.
I am on a Mac so I've been searching for hours for a qcp converter.
Your little app worked great(I'm running Safari BTW)! Keep up the awesome work!

SprintUsers should definitely incorporate your app into their site just like the Focus feature!

You guys rock!

[JRC3]

wow, just used this. exactly program here. keep up teh good work.

[MinorThreat]

a good feature would be in input your phone number and have it send the file directly to your phone (such as the focus uploader does).

[MinorThreat]

also, this worked fine with my 8200, there is a bit of distortion, but as someone said before, editing some of the bass out of it with an audio editor prior to conversion would solve most of the problems. The difference with some songs comming out distorted and some not probably has more to do with the dynamics of the song being converted and less with the converter itself.

[JRC3]

another problem wwhen i try to get parts at the end of long songs like 30 seconds at the end of an 11 minute song, it won't work.

[Jer1]

people asre really uploading 11minute songs?
talk about bandwidth loss

another problem wwhen i try to get parts at the end of long songs like 30 seconds at the end of an 11 minute song, it won't work.

:eyeroll:


trim the song down to the length you want it on your computer, then upload it...

[stms]

i know its been said b4, but a volume control would be nice and an automatic uploader would be sweeter! It would make this a great software.

[pumas10]

trying to upload stewies banjo song from family guy and all i get is 194 bytes of nothing... what am i doing wrong? im supposed to save it from the link right? not try to open the link itself?? help

[pumas10]

^^Bump^^ anybody??

[cyclebiff]

Guys an Gals,

Thursday the 16th of September I have disabled the converter with preparation for the new update ive been promising for a month now.

A note on the code: It is really complex and server-specific. I have been getting emails with people wanting me to share the code and that opens up a lot of problems being that you need to know a lot about linux to do this program. Answer: I will add a module soon to let people use the server HOWEVER I need to assess the costs because at any one time the server is bogged with conversion requests! The free version will remain free :)

I am also setting it up in a new location (off my companys domain ugh trouble there), will move to dev.yellowlabrador.net as soon as the DNS changes are made.

HELP!!! I am in need of somebody to help me with adding stuff to the site features, more than just a simple converter, possibly help me make a better FREE site. Only people with time to help (a designer would be great, i dont have time for graphics right now).

Good luck man, more power to ya. I'd help if I could, but I don't have any experence with what you need. You're awasome man, thanks for letting us use your site. I'm sure that I speak for anyone who was able to have their mp3 sucessfully converted with your site. The two times that my conversion went through properly, it made my day. Thanks. :D

[JRC3]

Qualcom has a converter for the MAC ... wav to qcp ... start with audacity ... convert your mp3 to a wav, then convert your wav to qcp ... see the FAQ for details.

Louie

[ac1]

There is now a QCP Converter for Windows:
http://www.audioconverter.info/qcpconv.php

It converts MP3,wma,wav directly to QCP.
