How do I convert MP3 to AMR or MMF ringtones?

Introduction.

Usually mobile phones support several ringtone formats. Among them AMR and MMF are worth of mentioning. Designed for high compression ratio, they allow to achieve a good quality while keeping files small in size. AMR audio compression is also used for GSM networks, so it is a 'native' format for mobile phones. MMF format was created specifically for ringtones.
