I'd posted this in the Multimedia section, but nobody out there has been able to help me as yet. As this section seems more active, I'm posting my query here again.
I have created some .3gpp files on my computer, which I want to use as ringtones on my 6600.
The .3gpp files are encoded in AMR format, but it is not possible to just rename the file to .amr, dump it on my phone, and use it.
What do I have to do to convert the 3GPP file to an AMR file?

I'm guessing you send the 3GPP files to your phone and they open something other than voice recorder.
First, we're dealing w/ AMR Narrow Band and AMR-WB. You have two options here. If you have AMR's and they are launching a media player you can open the file in a text editor and trim the header information to the first %mdat (I think that's right..I can check again later)..this definately fixes QT conversions at ringtone length (25-28 seconds).
To me the best option is to grab ffmpeg, compile w/ the AMR source and convert the songs from aiff/wav to AMR-WB. Now..these sound great for the size because that's the best codec you can use.
There's probably some drag and drop or simple app to do what you want for you, or if you're on a mac you can applescript it, but I go w/ option 2 since it gives you the quality you want.
good luck
