I have been using option two from the FAQ that Deval listed to create aac ringers for my phone. It's been great, thanks Deval! My only question is, does anyone know of any way to make them smaller?

Most of my ringers are only 15-20 seconds long and they are like ranging in size from 128K to 188K. I am working with very limited memory on my 7400. (the amount is horrible :( )

I have purchased 2 ringers from sprint and they are so small and so clear sounding. One is 78K and the other is 98K which would be perfect and allow for more ringer space.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Deval recommended to me the sample rate of 24kbps, 22khz, mono and all the aac's I've made retained their quality and are never over 90kb.

Thanks flipn0tic, I will give it a shot when I get home tonight. I have some amazingly awesome AAC files that I can't put on my phone because of size limits.

Just a quick question though, how are you making them, which option or process?

I use the registered Wavepad for AACs. It works well because it allows you to visually cut out parts of the song you want or don't want (unlike mp3trim, where you have to listen and guess a number), and it also lets you filter out any unwanted bass by simply entering the frequency (or you can use the equalizer). It also allows you to convert files to as low as 24kbps, which I think QTPro and dBPowerAmp don't offer.

Where can I find this program? Is it shareware or do I need to "purchase" it?

You can download the shareware version which includes all the features for a certain trial period, then it strips itself down to a basic version.

You can find programs to "extend" the trial period.
