Re: What is the best ringtone format and quality to use?

I use MP3's for song clips because I get 20 seconds of the tune in a small file but I use WAV files for sound effect clips because I get faster uncompressed file without a huge file.

As for the issue raised about 128kbps, etc etc... well, I'd say that largely depends on the song. There's just NO bass at all on the TP speakers, so if you're trying to go gangsta with a ring tone, you're gonna be disappointed. Since you're using Audacity, avoid amplifying the tune too loud, and you'll probably be fine. Right now I'm using the theme song from Psych, and it works out pretty fantastic.
I guess I dont understand the logic of smaller = bettersound quality? But ok. Not looking for any bass as I cannot stand rap crap/hip hop...etc. I do not do any amplifying either.

I guess I'll just play with it more.
