minus-squareUraniumBlazer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·7 months agoI don’t get it. Don’t we do that now as well? Putting .mp3 files up as our ringtones?
minus-squareGFGJewbacca@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up18·7 months agoOh my sweet summer child. Ringtones were in a different audio format than mp3s. Plus, getting the ringtone onto the phone required additional fuckery.
minus-squaregregorum@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·7 months ago additional fuckery Oh, wow, that phrase is doing a lot of heavy lifting here…
minus-squareAlbum@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoPhones didn’t have UFS/USB storage like today. So usually you were using a proprietary cable and software to move files over.

minus-squareEncom@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·7 months agoevery phone had a different format, i remember the Razr had a deprecated tool to convert .mp3 to a format it could read and limited it to like…30sec audio snippets?
