I'm using high/low bit rate mp3s from my computer and cutting them down to 30 second versions to use as Ringtones for my verizon cell fone. Like most, I send the mp3 through my email directly to my phone and use the "save as ringtone" feature, like on most verizon phones. Although whenever I listen to the saved ringtone (once I receive the txt), it's really bad quality and sounds like it's been recorded. The ringtone isn't as clear as it would sound if I were to play the full mp3 off of my fone directly.

For example I cut a 30 second mp3 of the song, Nothing on You by B.o.B. I sent it to my phone and it sounded like crap, but shortly after, I synced the full song onto my phone, and played it. It sounded great, crisp and everything. Why doesn't the sounds I send to my fone via email sound just as crisp and good?
