Why convert MMF files to AAC?

Converting MMF files to AAC enables playback on modern devices and streaming platforms by moving legacy, device-specific ringtones into a widely supported, efficient audio format.

Can AAC improve the sound quality of MMF files?

No, AAC compression is lossy and will not improve the original limited fidelity of MMF files; it only provides compatibility and efficient playback.

Are there any compatibility concerns with AAC?

Yes, different AAC profiles affect compatibility; some older devices may not support advanced features like HE-AAC, so selection of profile matters.
