I recently bought a Nokia 6600 and one of its features says that it can play True Tones as ringtones. My question is what's the difference between a True tone and a Midi ringtone. Are True tones MP3's?

Thanks in advance.
 
Juz found an info on true tone(.aac).....
Also called MPEG-2 AAC or MPEG-2 NBC, this audio codec is the logical continuation of the MP3 codec created by Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Due to advances in the technology, AAC files encoded at a 96 kbps bit rate sound slightly better than MP3s encoded at 128 kbps.
 
Do the truetones sound good? I think that if the quality isn't that great, some truetone ringtones can get very irritating after a while...
 
I have no idea what true-tones are but from what I've just read I'll be interested to find out. What phone can I buy with true-tones?
 
.mmf is the format that is used on samsung mobile phones, it is not compatible on nokias. they can have effective voice sounds but are not as good quality as true tones, i own a uk 3300 and you can use actual mp3s as ringtones, i am not sure if this is the case with the US versions
 
True tones are nice. No need 2 convert to midi tones. Some more u can hear the voice.. But the cons is every phone dun have bass effect. (Mayb the Vibrate function will help about this).
 
i think what nokia meant is that the phone can play .wav and .amr files as tones.. amr files are another type of compressed mp3 and trust me it doesnt sound good at all... not sure whether the 6600 can play aac files because then it will be counted as an music phone, since the 5510 (i think thats what its called) is the music phone that does that.... the nokia phones that play true tones are 3300, 6200, 6220 and 6600... 7650 and 3650 only play wavs and midis.... i think thats right!!
 
Was wondering if anyone had anylinks to a MP3 to Trutone converter, doesn't matter which phone it supports just wanted to check it out...Also was wondering if anyone has any experience using XingTone....www.xingtone.com What did you think of the app...

Huh?!?!? . mff!!!whats dat??or is it .mmf???if its .mff how come it got words??Karaoke file??to what i know.....karaoke file is .kar midi is .mid and samsung ringtones is .mmf and it does not have any words
 
True Tones basically means any tones that sounds like true-to-life ringing tones like ambient sounds, DJ samples, riffs, sirens and alarms, funny greetings as well as nature and animal noises. It can be in AAC or MP3 format.
 
AAC format is probably slightly better than MP3 but it is bigger in file size. besides, MP3 format plays just as well in my Nokia 3300. quite impressive quality.
