I used to have a Sony Ericsson and MP3 ringtones sounded great. However, if I play mp3s through the iPhone speakers, they don't sound very impressive and full of distortion in anything over 10% - 15% volume level. Is the the same with the ringtones where they sound pretty bad?

I'm thinking about getting ambrosiasw's ringtone manager for mp3 ringtones which is why I ask...

Same here. Using Audacity makes it even better though (for levels).

Wait, are you guys just using quicktime pro or are you purchasing some of these MP3 to ringtone programs?

QT or QT Pro though I believe the same thing can be done through garageband.
