Title: Ringtones?
Post by: groomporter on March 11, 2009, 09:51:10 AM
We just got new cell phones so I just added this ringtone to mine
http://www.mytinyphone.com/ringtone/225776/

Anyone have renmusic ringtones?

BTW http://www.mytinyphone.com lets you upload mp3 files and edit them to create your own ringtone so if there's a favorite song you have from a Ren performer...  ;)
I made one from the intro to the Medieval Baebes song "Dringo Bell" for my wife.

Milord has ripped tunes and uploaded them to our phones with one of the gazillion editing programs he has on our computers. I think the most recent one he used was Diamond Cut Audio. Took a few minutes, but we're cheapskates and didn't want to pay for something we could do ourselves. His is Prelude, by Cast in Bronze (ripped with the artist's permission, since it's Frank's own composition). Mine isn't ren, but it's fun- I have the Cantina theme from Star Wars. Yes, I'm a dork :)

Yeah I never bother one the old phone, but the new one has bluetooth as does my Macintosh so I can add tone for free.

As for permission, I have no problem with ripping samples for personal use, but I'm uncomfortable posting them for anyone the way http://www.mytinyphone.com allows. It's crossed my mind if bands could offer ringtones as free bonuses. "Buy our CD online and get ringtones from our songs to download free"

I have the Corsairs "Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum" for unidentified callers.

I like the idea of free ringtones- great marketing tool.

I want to put Men at Work, "Who Can it Be Now?" on mine for unidentified callers. Again, not ren, but it fits my weird sense of humor.

I can edit any mp3 into a ringtone on my phone.  I have bagpipe music on mine, so I always know when it MY phone that's ringing.   ;D

I can also change any audio file into a ring tone. I have the default tone for unknown callers and everyone else has their own tone. The only bummer with my new phone is that they are limited to 30 seconds :(, my old Motorola Razor would let the tone be as long as you wanted as long as it had the memory.

You all are making me feel old.  My cell phone just rings, no pictures, no music, just telephone calls.  And it is usually off and in my car's glove compartment.

Don't feel bad we probably wouldn't have the cell phones at all if we didn't need them for verifying credit cards purchases at events.
