Why convert AIFF files to MMF format?

Converting AIFF to MMF allows playback on legacy mobile devices by creating small, optimized ringtone and alert files.

Can MMF files store high-quality audio like AIFF?

No, MMF files are designed for short, low-fidelity sounds and cannot preserve the full audio quality of AIFF.

Are MMF files supported on modern smartphones?

MMF is a legacy format requiring specific SMAF-compatible decoders, so modern smartphones usually do not support it natively.
