I haven't tried it, but I would suggest loading the default openmoko ringtone in audacity, and using exactly that format. Audacity probably isn't the best app for doing this, as it doesn't edit .wavs directly - they are imported into a 'project', then exported again. When exported, the .wav's sample format/rate is inherited from the project, not the original .wav file (unless it has changed recently - been ages since I've used it!) mhwaveedit in Linux would be a better choice for this... not sure about Windows apps though, possibly wavosaur or wavepad?

Ringtone Question
I was wondering how people have generated their ringtones for use with the openmoko. I have mp3's, which according to what i've read, aren't compatible to use as ringtones. i ended up clipping the mp3's to get the sections i want and exporting them as wav files using audacity on a windows machine. i then scp'ed the wav files over to the openmoko, at which point they wouldn't work as ringtones. the phone would just vibrate silently. upon further testing, the wav files didn't play in the media player either, yet they played just fine on my windows machine. are there any special settings i need to configure when i setup ringtones? (and yes, i did restart the x server after editing /etc/pulse/session) -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Ringtone-Question-tp587153p587153.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Also IIRC there was a similar thread on the mailing list, where the point was made that there is a size limit for ringtones, don't remember exactly 4mb maybe. Hopefully in the future openmoko ringtones will be able to support a much wider variety of audio files.
