Hello,
Say I am listening to an audio book (typically *.mp3) on the mogul and I want to extract a segment of the audio file (time x to time y) to email to someone.
Is there an application that exists that resides on the mogul that can extract audio?
regards
qu1nn
Look in this thread for MP3 Trimmer, it works good on my mogul. It does what you want, i don't know if there is a limit to how big a file you can load, I have only used it to trim songs to make ringtones with so far.

Hi,
I read that it is possible to have MIDI files as alarm sounds so i put a midi file i use on my old SE in the windows directory and when i go to choose the alarm tone i don't see it. is this supported in MDA Compact? what am i doing wrong? please advise. thanks
were did you read this? afaik... you can use midi, wav, mp3, wma for ringtones (via caller id app) windows mobile uses wav and wma for ringtones, but wav only for alerts. hope this helps.
I think it was on the AlarmToday user forum. i thought something was wrong. anyway, thanks for replying, it's a shame that midi cannot be used for alarms i don't think it's a technical or logical impossibility but microsoft works in mysterious ways i suppose. if there's a workaround or a program that would do this i would greately appreciate it if someone could point it out. once again, many thanks
Well, if you have a midi player for pocket pc installed you might be able to pull it off with AlarmToday.
On their site I read:
"Powerful custom alarms to play music (including complete songlists, MP3, WMA, OGG or Realplayer), open documents or applications and much more"
This should in theory make it possible to create an alarm event that starts the midi player software with the midi file of your choice.
Why not convert your midi file to wav it's very simple and then you can use it as an alert?
Do you know the wav file type is so much bigger than the other types of audio?
I sure do realize that but why would you need a whole song for an alert. Change the stereo to mono and 16 bit to 8 bit and trim it down to a length that it needs to be as an alert and it will not be much if any bigger than the midi file.
If you can't live with the shorter version then you should stay with midi because you are right they take up much lesss room, but I myself don't want a whole song played for an alert. The longest one I would ever use would be 2 seconds then let it repeat again for each alert.
If you use this procedure you can have many wav files as alerts.
I've had a recording studio here in Nashville TN since the early 80's and over the years I found out that if you will bend a little there is always a way to get what you want. Let me know if you need any help with turncating your wav files
Thanks for your thoughts

I still use a SE P800 smartphone and what you just wrote is what I had to do. WAV files are big but with a bit of creativity in making an alert or ringtones it is just to easy. " Ask and you shall receive"

No, I am not a musician. My username is just a nick name from my first name and the germ part is only short for Germany.
Cool thanks, germ is a term we use in the music biz. Thats why I wonered :lol:

Wat Software do U use to do this? I am looking for a software that can transform anything in everything (mp3, wav) from original CD's. and cut them in small durations. I don't find that...
I use CDex, which BTW is a free program. I love it
Anyone here can convert mid to wav ?
i been trying to find software for my apple to do this, where i do not have access to a peecee i dont know how to do it.
If someone could convert these

I be so greatful, email me @ m3nf(at)m3nf.com
Your wizard should be able to play midi. You probably need to convert only those messages tone.
Update: Attached 2 message tones in mp3. Using standard sound card midi-wav.
Yes they work fine as ringtones, but i like to use them as message tones, but unable to convert them into wav for them.
I'll convert the files for you with professional instrument sound libraries (think a 2GB piano, for starters). Just give me a little time.
If I posted them as MP3s (to save space), would you be able to then convert them to WAVs?
Yes i have software for that so that would be really great, many thanks for your time
Done the first, AutumnSky...
The board won't let me post MP3s, so here
I'll be on vacation until Sunday, so I won't be able to get any more done until then.
Many thanks, i very greatful for your time.

Thanks for the link, but as first post say i use a apple mac computer, so i am unable to use what most of you do .
Thanks again thou.
What program should i use to put music on my phone? and make the song small but sound good still.
oooh ooooh let me guess... windows media player?
Well i guess i sounded stupid by putting the question of what program to use to put the songs on to the phone. But what program should i use to convert the file into a smaller one without making the song quality crap?
Small MP4 files...
I use dbpoweramp to compress mp3's into mp4 files with an enhance aac plus encoder. I use tcpmp player to play them, but WMP will play them as well... there is just a noticeable pop every now and then in WMP.
http://home.case.edu/bes7/db_EnhAACPlus_710.zip - to the plugin for dBpoweramp
http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=7107&page=1&pp=15 - to the original thread about it.
This is the pluggin to use... I compress the mp3's down to 32kbit stereo and they sound amazing. A typical 4mb mp3 turns out to be around 900kb or so... you can store TONS more music... and there is very little quality loss.
Hope this is helpful...

Thank you.. thats what i was looking for
Well i downloaded the file and unziped it to my desktop. Now im confused as what to do with it. when i try to run the programs from inside the folder a black screen pops up then goes away. Im new to all of this stuff So any help would be great thanks
Dear all
I'm trying to get any music player for songs with extension .cda, but no sucsess.
This files are very small and if converted to wma or mp3 it will take much much space.
This type of songs.cda comes with cd
Best Regards

You can't do that. I'm not sure how it precisely works. But a .cda file cannot be played at all. Its some kind of index file used by cd's, but you can't simply copy these files. There's no other way than converting cd's to wma or mp3.
.cda is just a shortcut to pcm waw file on cd. waws are uncompressed with data flow of around 10MB per minute. Mp3 is roughly 1mb per minute. In other words .cda just points where to look for the file like .lnk files (shortcuts). Info here.
Is it possible to use sounds/music you have installed instead of the standard sounds that come pre installed on the phone. Any ideas would be great.
hmmmmmmmmmm,
Copy ur music file to "windows" or "My documents" folder, it will search and automatically add to list, then u can set it.
I would advice u to use any software like cradle alarm/Vistalarm/G-Alarm.
Make sure it is a wav audio file (mp3's won't work)...

I will add that you will need an mp3 to wav converter, if all of your files are in mp3 format. I use media coder.
