It's done when users adds new ringtones to BITPIM.  If a new ringtone file is an MP3 file, BITPIM can convert it to an qcp file, which then could be transferred to the phone.  The new ringtone would then show up as a qcp file on the ringtone display tab.

This conversion needs 2 helper binaries: ffmpeg and pvconv.  pvconv is currently available only on Windows & Linux.  Unless an equivalent tool is available for the Mac, this conversion will not be available on the Mac.  Right now, it would generate an exception and wouldn't let you add any mp3 files.  We could come up with more graceful way to handle it.
