email mp3's to your phone: quick guide

[Rashim]

LHey all, i just posted this up in the LG forum, but thought i'd add it here as well. Hopefully some of you might get some use out of it.



I dont know if this is the best way to do this or not, But this is how i've done it with my vx6000. If anyone knows a better way to do it, let me know.

first step, download something like
sound forge that will let you convert your mp3 to wav files.

crop down the music file to what you want the ringer to be. I dont know what the max length is that the phones will accept, but I can do a 10 second clip on my vx6000 with no problems.

once you've gotten the mp3 cropped to the seletion you want, convert it to a mono file and change it to 8,000hz. (in soundforge, choose the 'resample" option from 'process' tab.

you should now have a MONO cropped file at 8,000hz. You can go ahead and save it now.

now you need to convert the file to .qcp
you can use qualcomm's converter here: http://www.cdmatech.com/solutions/pr...wnload_sdk.jsp
(drag and drop your .wav file onto the pvconv.exe file)
(The vx6000 might be able to play mp3's as well - but qcp is what the phones save audio files as some i'm assuming its the native format for verizon phones.

So once you have your made qcp file, you'll need to manually change the extension to .midi (even though its not a midi file, verizon will strip any sound attachments to your phone unless its a .midi file)

now if you have a vzwpix.com account, you can upload this file to that and then send it to your phone, or just regular email and send it as an attachment. ([email protected])

check your phone, it should say new message- and you'll hear it play your new file. Now save the sound file and do with it whatever you want.

hope this helps

how do you crop midi?

[scouse2004]

u can crop midi using a free program called Anvil Studio at www.anvilstudio.com.

[lilspaceboy]

when i try to manually change qcp to midi, the file just ends up being .midi.qcp .... how can i change this??

[The Jabbawock]

nevermind i figured that part out, but i tried all that like 6 times and my audiovox 8900 kept saying could not handle pix message

[Corinyy!]

I tried the qcp program but kept getting zero byte files even with different sampling rates (Tried 8khz first)

[Nich!]

dont use musicmatch to convert, for some reason the qualcomm program wont convert these files afterward
