Features
Ringdroid has a graphical editor that displays the waveform similar to pro-audio software allowing users to select the portion of a song they want. Each audio section is highlighted with divider lines having handles for touch-dragging. There are also inputs for numerical values for the start and end points and controls to zoom in and out on the waveform. Users can save files as a ringtone, an alarm or a notification. Ringdroid does not have the ability to fade or loop.
Ringdroid supports MP3, WAV, OGG Vorbis, AAC, MP4, 3GPP, and AMR file formats
