HoHo can create, edit, and play music in any format. It can also perform conversion between all formats:

• ringtone <=> ringtone - convert text formats, e.g. from Nokia to Motorola
• ringtone <=> MIDI - convert music written as text to a MIDI file and vice-versa
• *.mid <=> MIDI - exchange MIDI files with your PC

ringtone => MIDI

*.mid => Palm MIDI

MIDI files on Palm OS devices can be used in at least two ways:

• alarms - sounds used by applications like Date Book, Calendar, or Note Pad
• smartphone ringtones - sounds used for incoming calls and SMS messages on the Handspring Treo and Palm Tungsten W devices
