How to convert mid to imy file

- No ratings yet.
Some older Ericsson phones and ringtone tools accept iMelody files (.imy) but not MIDI files (.mid). Converting a MIDI tune to IMY can make it usable on those devices, although the target format cannot retain every part of a MIDI arrangement.
What the MID format is
.mid files usually contain Standard MIDI data: timed note events, tempo, and instrument assignments, not recorded sound. Sequencers and notation software use MIDI to create and exchange editable musical arrangements.
What the IMY format is
.imy is Ericsson iMelody, a text-based ringtone format used by compatible phones and ringtone software. It stores note and timing instructions rather than audio samples, making it suitable for compact, typically monophonic ringtones and older devices that support iMelody.

Compatibility and limitations
IMY is a ringtone representation, not an audio rendering of the MIDI. Conversion may drop or simplify simultaneous notes, tracks, instrument timbres, percussion, and MIDI events that iMelody cannot represent. Listen to the result and test it on the target phone; support and playback behavior vary by device.
