Deliver A Song

Since the first Nokia mobile cell phone and the Nokia tune the mobile phone industry has exploded, and also did the ringtones market. There didn’t only come more customers to buy the ringtones but there was a huge climb in the technology behind ringtones as well.

The first Nokia tune was a simple monophonic ringtones with only one beep sound. Soon after the Nokia tune there came a lot of other monophonic ringtones and even real songs that were composed to monophonic ringtones. But the technology did not stop. Because some years after the first Nokia tune the first polyphonic ringtones came out. Polyphonic ringtones became a big hype and every one who had a mobile cell phone wanted a new one that supported polyphonic ringtones. These polyphonic ringtones consist of more beeps than just one, so it sounds like a real song but without any singing. And the drums and the piano were very realistic. But after the polyphonic ringtones the technology behind ringtones slowed down a little bit. For a few years many companies were looking to find the best quality ringtone sound with the least file size. But after a while the mobile phone companies started to create and use bigger memory chips in their phones, and upgraded the quality of the sound. So after a while it became possible to have MP3 songs on your mobile phone and play them with good quality of sound. The first realtones are born…

But the first realtones weren’t actually the realtones we use to know. Because it was a little bit too risky to set up deals with record label companies to use their artists songs. Just because they didn’t know if anyone would be interested in the realtones. And the mobile phones that supported the realtones were very expensive and almost nobody had one. So the first realtones were actually called truetones. Truetones are mp3 sounds of real things. Like a mowing cat or the mowing of a cow. You even had a Yihaa! as a truetone or a big burp or a fart. But eventually more people bought a MP3 supported mobile phone as they became less expensive and those people actually bought those truetones. And eventually the market became bigger and bigger. The next thing after the truetones were the covertones. Covertones are the covers of real existing songs. But it was useless to make those because the productional costs were very high and you still had to pay a lot of money to the record label companies. So after the flop of covertones the ringtone providers switched to realtones. Real songs of real artists.

But why did it took so long before the realtones came? Well, that is really easy to answer: money. The realtone providers had and still have to make deals with record companies these deals go deep into the $100.000’s only for the deal! After the deal you still have to pay for every realtone you sell! So it is really expensive to legally offer those realtones. And you have to make deals with a lot of record label companies because there are a lot of artists at different companies. So there just was not a big market for the realtones at first and the ringtone companies had to wait until the big crowds got into the MP3 supported mobile phones.

There are some negative things about realtones, the quality of the sound on your phone is most of the time not as good as the real song so you might hear a different way of the song on your mobile phone than when you listen to the preview. Also, realtones are very expensive because of the high record deals. Realtones sometimes even cost two times as much as a polyphonic ringtone. And when you buy a realtone online you pay more for the realtone then when you buy the full song online!

But there are also some bright sides of realtones. Realtones are mp3 ringtones so they’re the newest thing and you can really show off when you have one! Also the realtones of the future are probably going to be a lot less expensive because the market gets bigger and bigger every day. Also the mobile phones of the future have better technology and better sound. There are even now mobile phones which have about 4 gigabytes of memory storage and it’s only going to be more in the future. So with realtones you can make turn your mobile phone into a media system.

So the realtones might be a little expensive right now, but in the future they’re going to be big, really big!

It started with the Nokia Tune, which is a 13 note rendering of
Francisco Tarrega’s, Gran Vals, who was a 19th-century Spanish
musician.

The first ringtones were monophonic, which mean that only one
note is played at a time.

Some of the early cell phone models, had a built in ringtone
composer. To compose free ringtones directly to the phone or to
make them with a ringtone composer, never became a big hit. The
year 2002 is a major milestone in ringtone history. Nokia 3510
was the first phone optimized for playing polyphonic ringtones.
Soon other cell phone companies also adopted the MIDI standard
that enables more realistic polyphonic sounds for ringtones.

The year 2003 was the actual breakthrough for polyphonic
ringtones. Cell phone makers, operators and content providers
also came up with new concepts and ringtone formats. Motorola
introduced Groovetunes and Nokia introduced Nokia True Tones.
Ringtone web sites also started to offer voice ringtones with
voices of celebrities as ringtones.

Today, with phones like The Sony Ericsson W800, Nokia N91 and
MOtorolas iTunes phone, we could be facing a new milestone in
the ringtone history. Polyphonic ringtones still rock, but as
you can see from the short history presented above, things
change. Today the internet is full of MP3 music, both legal and
illegal, and you can use Bluetooth to transfer music files from
a PC to your cell phone.

Ringtones are musical sounds that a mobile phone or cell phone plays when an incoming call or text message is received to the handset. Because the popularity and technology advantage of mobile phones over basic landline telephones, ringtones can be downloaded to a handset and used to personalize a callers ringing tone. The fact that users can choose what ringtone there mobile phone rings too, is the biggest selling point and the main purpose of ringtones popularity.

There are various different formats of ringtone, and each format of ringtone is more suited to a range of different manufacturers and models of mobile phone. Many people who purchase a mobile phone think that they can receive any type of ringtone; this is not the case in many situations.

At the moment, there are currently 5 different format of ringtones available:

RTTTL, which is short for Ring Tones Text Transfer Language, is a simple text based format that you can use to make/create ringtones that can be uploaded or transferred onto your mobile phone via various mobile phone uploading techniques e.g. Infrared, SMS, and Bluetooth.

Monophonic ringtones are very basic ringtones, most commonly found on older mobile phones such as the Nokia 3210. Monophonic ringtones are only capable of making one sound at a time; hence monophonic. Each tone or sound is created at a different frequency creating a melodic, but simple sound. RTTTL is the basis behind monophonic ringtones.

Polyphonic Ringtones are compatible on mobile phones that can produce the playing of up to 16 separate tones simultaneously. Polyphonic ringtones are slightly more musical than monophonic ringtones, but there is still no real comparison to a real life song. Most modern mobile phones support polyphonic ringtones.

MP3 ringtones also know as real tones, real music tones and true tones are ringtones that are complete emulations of CD quality music. As the name suggest, mp3 ringtones are just MP3 music files that are assigned as ringtones. This allows the user to have perfectly quality sounds coming from there mobile phone, which for the first time has allowed mobile phones to produce real life sounds such as signing and voices. Many people now download full track albums to there mobile phone and simply use the files for recreation, such as using the mobile phone as an MP3 Player, then assign the MP3 file as a ringtone. This has seen a big surge in ringtone sales as it allows consumers to kill two birds with one stone.

With today’s technology increasing and the market for mobile phone content rapidly expanding, we have seen the creation of video ringtones. Video ringtones are simply small video clips with a MP3 file assigned to play in the background, so when you receive an incoming call to your mobile phone, the video and ringtone is played. Although video ringtones have been around for a while now, they have never really become main stream and could be a new market for many mobile ringtones websites.

Music is the only “language” that unites people from all over the world. It doesn’t have any discrimination, or bias and everyone enjoys different kinds of music. Almost all the mobile producing companies have realized this fact and to keep the joy of music alive, they started plying these cellular phones with your favorite music in the form of ringtone. For all of you who don’t know what a ringtone is, it is the sound produced by the cellular phone at the time of an incoming call (and now even messages).

Out of passe sounds in mobile phones are polyphonic and monophonic sounds. They imitate the song in their own form of ringing style (either polyphonic or monophonic). Today, mobile phones avail to us even real music as ringtones. These type of music ringtones actually play the real song (in .wav, .wmv, .mp3, .mp4 formats). Apart from this, a recent development has taken place, called “caller tunes”. A caller tune is the actual song heard by the caller (the person who calls) when calling the recipient. This tune is usually the favorite song of the receiver.

Polyphonic and monophonic ringtones, though demode, are available on websites, which requires you to register and provide your mobile number (which is safe and not disclosed to anyone) to receive the desired ringtone via text message, after your confirmation through SMS. Monophonic and polyphonic ringtones can be composed by an individual person on his/her own. On the other hand, real music ringtones can be uploaded from your PC hard drive, transferred from one phone to another via bluetooth or downloaded through surfing the internet in your phone.

If you’re interested in acquiring new ringtones for your cell phone, your best choice is to look on the Internet. You’ll find a lot of choices that way, even more choices than you would find going through only your cell phone service provider. Below you’ll find out how to find latest ringtones for downloading.

Ask Around

Chances are good that if you ask your friends how to find latest ringtones for downloading at least some of them might be able to steer you in the right direction. A good recommendation from someone you trust is definitely going to be one of the best ways of finding a site that offers an excellent selection and trustworthy downloads.

Search the Internet

You could do a search for how to find latest ringtones for downloading.  Of course, you’ll turn up a wide range of vendors and web sites that may or may not be appropriate for your needs. Most of these sites are going to either charge you a set fee per download or may change you a fee to subscribe. Your best bet, however, is to find a site that offers free ringtones for downloading.

Today’s cell phones are made to allow each of us to be individualists. We can pick a number of styles and have the phones configured to do all sorts of things, from capturing digital images to accessing our email. And when it comes to selecting a ringtone, the choices are limited only by our imaginations. If you have in mind to download ringtones, here are a few ideas to help you select ones that fit your personality.

One of the first things to do consider before you begin to download ringtones is your personality. Are you a serious minded individual? Perhaps a blast of serious music, such as an overture from a classical piece, would make a good ringtone for you. Maybe you are a party animal. If that is the case, a ringtone that has a strong dance beat might be just the ticket. For someone who is very mellow and laid back, something akin to a folk tune set to guitar might make the perfect ring tone for you. If you are no-nonsense, business oriented type of individual, then you can probably skip the download altogether. Chances are one of the basic ringtones that come with most cell phones will work just fine for you.

Next, think about your interests. Do you enjoy classic rock and roll? There are ringtone out there that capture snipped of everything from Janis Joplin to Bad Company. Can you imagine having your phone sound a yell from Joplin when someone is calling?

Perhaps you get a kick out of disco. There are many ringtones that carry the disco beat, as well as snippets from hits by major artists of the era. Even if you are into contemporary music, you can often find ringtones that will demonstrate your love and devotion to a current performer.

When you download ringtones, don’t forget that the sounds of nature are available as well. If the idea of a waterfall cascading or thunder rolling each time you get a call is appealing, rest assured those ringtones are out there and waiting for you to grab them.

Perhaps you are the dramatic type, loving anything to do with the stage. Ringtones that feature Broadway tunes can be found through a number of different vendors. You might be surprised how easy it is to locate and download ringtones that feature material from both current and past Broadway hits. From the works of Moss Hart all the way through today’s big plays, the ringtones are available.

When it comes to deciding to download ringtones, there are so many choices out there that you may feel somewhat overwhelmed. Don’t let the sheer volume of available tones get to you. Narrow down the list by looking to your own personality, likes, and lifestyle. That should make the list of potential choices much more workable. And, if a year from now, you see the world much differently, there is no need to be stuck with a ringtone that no longer fits. Simply go out and find a few more that go with your newfound philosophy.
