Creating Looping Ringers for SprintPCS Phones

Even though I use all Linux tools to make my ringers,with the exception of pvconv.exe (Wine handles that),this isn’t really a Linux tip,but I’ll put it here anyhow.

I’ve noticed when I create looping ringers for my Samsung N400 phone,I get a small gap in the sound between loops. Up until now,I didn’t know the length of that gap,so I had to guess and remove some audio from my master audio file to compensate. The sound files still don’t sound right,especially with a heavy beat. So tonight I counted out the repetitions of a 2.5 second clip before the loop playing on my phone caught back up with the master playing on my computer. 50. So,if I’m cacluating that correctly,there’s a .05 second gap between repeats of the clip pn my phone. So to compensate,I have to remove .05 seconds of audio from the clip to make it loop in beat.

Just thought I should take note of this somewhere,and maybe someone else could make use of that info as well.
