Wave files can be converted to MIDI but there are some limitations.
Only one instrument can be selected in the MIDI file and WAV
to MIDI files can not contain any voices as in the case of WAV
to MMF.
For converting wave files to MMF you can use some tools like
Akoff Composer, Mobile music polyphonic, Intelliscore polyphonic
etc.
According to my experience converting general wave files
into MIDI is useless because the detection is very bad. But
if you want a song to be converted to ringtone you can do
one thing. Buy a good Mic and record the main theme of the
song in your voice. Then convert your voice into instrumental
tone using these softwares.These software’s do well
in converting human voices or piano tones into midi.
WAV/MP3
to Samsung MMF format (Used in Samsung C100 and other phones)
Converting wave files to MMF format is very difficult work.
The sound quality of the wave get distorted and sound becomes
very scratchy. Phones don’t support wav format as ringtones
because wave files have very big size and phones only have
limited memory.Nokia 7650 is among fewer phones which support
Wav as ringtones.
Wav to MMF conversion can be done in following ways.
One thing you need to realize is that due the limited phone
memory, you can only make little less than 20 seconds length
of mp3 ringtone & you could store up to 3, maybe 4 converted
mmf ringtones.
To do this, you need 2 software’s.
Sound forge 5.0 or 6.0 (I got this at Kazaa. I hope you
have fast internet connection to download b/c it's little
big)
yahama converter program; exact name of this file is WSC-MA2-SMAF-u.zip.
(you can find this at yamaha website. Go to smaf) .Yamaha
Software only supports 8000 bit Mono Wav files.
After you've got the software’s, open them.
Open the sound forge software.
Go to File>Open. Select the mp3 or wav file you like
to convert.
Due to the size of the file, you need know that the maximum
size to convert is 19~20 sec. The phone cannot contain the
whole song. After it opens, you need to click & drag
(like highlighting the sentence in word processor) the segment
that you want to convert. Remember maximum you can convert
is less than 19~20 second.
Press play button to see if it plays only the dragged
segment. If I were you, I would play with this software
little bit. It’s not too difficult to use.
After you have click & drag the segment, go to Edit>
Copy.
Then Go to File>New. It will open up a new file window.
Then Go to Edit> paste.
New Go to File>Properties. Then click on the Format
tab.
Leave everything as it is except for the Channels which
switch it to Mono.
-So Sample rate= 44,100/// Bit-depth= 16 bitt//// Channels
= mono.
After you click OK, it will ask you ¡Stereo to Mono
. Click Mix Channels and click OK.
Now go to Process>Resample .
As it opens the Resample window, go to Preset> Resample
to 8000 Hz with anti-alias filter. Leave everything as it
is. Click OK.
You have just created mp3 to wav file, but the sound quality
has not been badly affected even though it's down to 8000
Hz and the file size has been tremendously decreased.
Go to File> Save as and Save this wav file you have
just created. Don't forget where you save this file.
Now open the yamaha converter tool. It will say drag wav
file into here. Find the wav file you have just created.
Click and drag into the yamaha program. DON'T FORGET TO
click 8 kh to 4 kh. This will definitely affect the sound
quality of the file, but you have no choice to do this b/c
phone can't be downloaded big size of file. Now, it will
create the *.mmf file. (I think it also creates *.sfx ,
but you don't need this). All you have to do now is use
GPRS program to download the file.
Several things to know. The max file size you can download
to phone is 39~40 kb. I believe 20 seconds of mp3 file is
about 39~40 kb. Also phone does have limited size of memory
so you could only put few converted mmf file in your phone.
If you don’t have Sound Forge then you can do one thing.
You can use windows sound reorder to do the task for you.
If you want to convert wav file to MMF, just open WAV file
in windows Sound Recorder. If you need to convert MP3 then
play MP3 file in player like winamp and run sound recorder
on the other side. Then record the sound from MP3 and save
it as wave file. Now you can convert this wav into MMF through
following procedure.
Open WAV file in sound recorder.
Go to file/Properties/Convert Now and reduce the sound quality
to 8000 bit Mono and click OK.Then save the wave file.
Then follow Step 13 written above to convert this wave file
into MMF using yamaha converter.

WAV\MP3

them to MIDI. There are various Wav2Midi tools. To convert
MP3 you first also need to convert MP3 to Wav.This can be
done by using windows sound recorder. First play your desired
MP3 song and record it using sound recorder. Then save it

Wave files can be converted to MIDI but there are some limitations.
Only one instrument can be selected in the MIDI file. Most
of the MIDI files have many instruments playing at one time.
But WAV 2 MIDI can convert the song into one instrument playing.
For example if you want to convert a song into Midi. It can
be converted into a single instrument playing. Normally it
can be converted into piano etc. So its very hard for these
software’s to detect many instruments and then change
them into one instrument. The sound gets distorted and the
tone is not so good.
But one thing can be done.If you have a good microphone,you
first sing the theme of your song.For example if i want
james bond Tomorrow Never Dies tone.I first sing the theme
that is something like"dundooh-doohdun,dundundun,dundooh-doohdun,dundundun"
And then i converted it to MIDI.The results are really
good.Download James Bond Tune ( http://geocities.com/mobileinfoline/james.mid
)to see yourself.
Then i converted the MIDI file to composer code.ITS THAT
SIMPLE...
