She had previously said that she was really looking forward to it becoming available and would use it as her ring as soon as it was. She was really appreaciative, but after a couple weeks pointed out that it didn&#8217;t sound as good as the other ringtones on her phone. I thought that was weird, because I had listened to that ringtone and some of the ones I had downloaded from Sprint&#8217;s site on my phone and they all sounded about the same to me. My fianc\u00c3\u00a9e, being a Sprint employee, has a <a href=\"http:\/\/www1.sprintpcs.com\/explore\/PhonesAccessories\/PhoneDetails.jsp?selectSkuId=sanyomm7400\">fancier phone<\/a> than I do, so I listened to a couple of the other ringtones on her phone, and she was right&#8230; the one I made for her just didn&#8217;t sound as good. So I went back and did a little more research and discovered that the Sanyo MM 7400 supports <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mp4\">MP4<\/a> ringtones, provided they have the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/M4a\">M4A<\/a> extention. So, I had to find a way to convert my <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/WAV\">WAV<\/a> file into an MP4 file. For that purpose, I used <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dbpoweramp.com\/\">dBpowerAMP<\/a>. So to make a long story short, she was really happy that I was able to produce a ringtone that sounds just as good as the ones she gets from the Sprint site and was just what she wanted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update 8-Feb-2006<\/strong>: Thanks to Tony, we now know how to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steenhagen.us\/~jake\/blog\/?p=69\">make ringtones for free<\/a>!
