Convert IMY to MP3

Understanding IMY and MP3 file formats

IMY is a file format used for storing monophonic ringtones, primarily on older mobile phones. It stands for iMelody and is a simple text-based format that describes the sequence of notes to be played. MP3, on the other hand, is a widely-used audio format that compresses audio data, making it ideal for music and other audio content. MP3 files are compatible with most media players and devices.
