    The thing is that you ask to compact the MP3's but what do you wish to compact them as?? also you mention conversion, what do you really need.

    Does your mobile phone take mp3 if so no conversion needed, if you do need them converting because your phone wont accept mp3 then what format should they be in, can you please post make and model of phone.

    my phone does take mp3 ringtone i just want to make them smaller - i dont have a memory card so i can only take one full sized mp3 track on there

    i thought you could compact to be used more widely as ringotnes then i could have a few on there to suit the mood

  • On this website http://www.mobile-phones-uk.org.uk/samsung-e250.htm You could get a few ringtones on the phone as far as I can see but you can also have a MicroSD memory card aswell that would give you more memory and that would solve any problems as mp3 is compressed anyway so you would get a lot out of compressing an already compressed file.

    Winlame is also good for re-encoding stuff to a lower bitrate.
