BitPim for Debian
=================
mp3 ringtones
-------------
Many of the phones BitPim supports allow users to upload ringtones in
the popular MP3 format. Although BitPim offers to convert WAV files
to this format, please be advised that such conversion *will not work*
on a stock Debian system, as patent concerns prevent Debian from
distributing any MP3 encoders via official channels.
On the other hand, uploading existing MP3 (or, for that matter, MIDI)
ringtones as is should still work. Moreover, you can ease this
restriction by installing an unofficial version of the ffmpeg package
with support for MP3 encoding; at the time of this writing,
http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ has such packages.
