Understanding These Formats
What is MMF?
MMF (Synthetic Music Mobile Application Format) was developed by Yamaha in 1999 for mobile phones. It uses FM synthesis or PCM samples to create ringtones that worked on phones with Yamaha MA-series sound chips. The format was popular with LG, Motorola, Samsung, and Panasonic devices. In our testing, MMF files typically range from 20KB to 200KB, as they were optimized for limited mobile storage.
What is AIFF?
AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) was created by Apple in 1988 for storing high-quality uncompressed audio. It uses PCM encoding-the same as audio CDs-preserving complete audio fidelity. AIFF is the standard format for professional audio editing in Logic Pro, GarageBand, and Final Cut Pro.
Why Convert MMF to AIFF?

- DAW compatibility - Works perfectly in Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton, and other audio software
- Apple ecosystem - Native support on Mac, iPhone, and iPad
- Archive preservation - Save legacy ringtones in a format that will last
