Motorola V710
Why change ringtone file extension from .mp3 to .mid?
I've been reading about loading ringtones onto my v710 here and would like to ask 2 questions:
1. why you need to change file extensions from .mp3 to .mid when loading a file on the phone, since they are completely different file types, to my knowledge, .mp3 is an audio file and .mid is a data file used to generate sound through a midi sound set
2. I'd like to find out info on the midi capabilities of this phone and also the requirements and restrictions to the GM sound set when creating a MIDI ringtone for it. Also, what needs to be done in order to load MIDI ringtones onto the phone.
Finally, can anyone point me to a link for more technical info on the v710's MIDI and MP3 features?
Thanks

Mail servers will block any files with the .mp3 extention. as for the others I don't know. You have to get them to the phone by e-mailing them to the phone your [email protected] and it does cost about $0.25 to recive an email. good luck
...
So after you get the file onto the phone do you change the extension back to .mp3?
Thanks

no the phone knows what kind of file it is from the file header (I assume) and can play it even with the wrong extension.

FYI: MP3's work fine if you transfer them to the flash card with out changing the extention to MID

I should get my transflash soon, i hope that works because I have not had any luck with mailing mp3s, even after changing their names and trying to follow all of the advice on this board about it. It seems that Verizon does not support this feature. I can not even get into my vzwpix account anymore. So far, nothing has really worked very nicely on this phone except for get it now. The web browser is sooooo slow. But hey, this is just the beginning of two years
