Convert MP3 To Voice Memo

Long story short, I would like to be able to convert an mp3 file into a voice memo file that I can play through the voice memo recorder application.

Does anyone know what steps I would need to do to convert the file and "flag" it as a voice memo recording?

Is it even possible?

Thanks

iPhone 3G, iOS 4

When I use Get Info for a voice memo in my iTunes library, the file extension is .m4a and under the Options tab at Media Kind, Voice Memo is selected.

You can try changing the file extension to .m4a - make a backup copy of the sound file before doing so followed by importing the .m4a file into iTunes. If this alone does not place this in your Voice Memos playlist, locate the file in your iTunes library and use Get Info. Under the Options tab change the Media Kind to Voice Memo if not not already selected which should place the file in your Voice Memos playlist. Test if this transfers to your iPhone as a Voice Memo via the iTunes sync process.
