So Vodafone have locked my phone so that it will not play mp3’s as ringtones unless they have been converted to their DRM blocked versions. There is probably a benefit in this but you can bet that it won’t be for the consumer. Looks to me like they are worried that people might use their own MP3’s as ring tones and not buy theirs. So in the spirit of “I brought the phone so I can do what I like with it.”, below is a script that does this “Conversion”
#!/bin/bash
input=$1
output=${1%.mp3}.dm
echo -ne "--mime_content_boundaryrn" > $output
echo -ne "Content-Type: audio/mpegrn" >> $output
echo -ne "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binaryrn" >> $output
echo -ne "rn" >> $output
cat $input >> $output
echo -ne "rn" >> $output
echo -ne "--mime_content_boundary--rn" >> $output
