Great job with the steps. I asked this question in the past and I don't understand why everyone says to "Uncheck the hide extensions for known file types." You don't have to change the extension from .mp3 to .mid because the phone supports .mp3 format.

Itunes defaults to AAC which is MPEG4 audio. Go to iTunes preferences under the Edit menu, Click on the Importing tab, set Import Using: to MP3 Encoder and settings to custom.

Then hit ok and follow the other steps to convert your clip.
Just make sure you remember to change the bit rate settings back to a higher quality stereo...

first use musicmatch to change it into a WAV format. then use the sound recorder on the computer to cut it the way u want . lastly, go back to musicmatch to convert the new file to 96 bitrate in mp3 format.
