Deliver A Song

I need to know a way to disable iPhone ringtone so that it only vibrates. The switch can go down easily, and sometimes in the worst times.

Easy way: settings > sounds
turn vibrate on for ring and silent, turn phone ringer down all of the way in ring (non-silent) mode. Set to silent for good measure if you have personal ring tones for certain friends or contacts or text notifications.

Thorough way (free):
Record some silence and set that as your ring tone.
In windows you can use start > accessories > entertainment > sound recorder
I’m not sure what you’d need for a mac.

After you have recorded nothing from your computer you can then follow the procedure for making a custom ring tone out of that silent sound file. However, it should be noted that ring tones set for specific people will not be affected, so in conjunction with the easy way you should be assured only vibrations and no ringing unless your phone volume accidentally goes up, the switch is removed from silent position, and a friend with a custom ring tone specific for them calls.

To be eligible to be an iphone ringtone it needs to be in aac format which usually has the m4a extension (but needs m4r for a ringtone.) You can download audacity for free from sourceforge.net. You may also need to grab the lame mp3 decoder for audacity since your ringtone is in mp3 format. You will probably need the ffmpeg plugin for audacity as well. (However, that plugin might only be needed to save to mp3.) There should be a link after you download for the plugins. You will then have to install audacity onto your computer and load the songfile into audacity.

After you have done this select the song portion you would like and select edit>trim, then file>export…, finally save as (aac) m4a. Then simply rename the file extension to m4r and throw it into itunes and it will recognize it as a ringtone.

After that, just make sure it is set to synchronize with your phone under the ringtones tab when you plug in your device.

To summarize:
get audacity (free and open source) with lame mp3 and ffmpeg
file > open ; select area of song wanted ; edit > trim ; file > export ; save as (aac) m4a
rename *.m4a to *.m4r
put into itunes

Thorough way (paid):
I have heard there are apps from the app store that allow you to record something and use it as a ring tone without a computer. I’ve never used them, but I conjecture that you could record something very quiet/silent for the same purpose.

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.

Are you funny, entertaining, stylish or cool? Better be careful. Someone might be able to figure this out just by listening to your ringtone. There are many different types of ringtones to choose from and each says something different about you. Some ringtones are simply a sound effect, or a monophonic melody made of similar tones. Others are polyphonic melodies made from a combination of instruments. Still others are actual songs in the form of MP3 music. What ringtone fits your personality best? Some Web sites offer insights into this with ringtone personality quizzes. One asks such things as what your favorite style of music is, how fast you drive, how many CD’s you have at home, how often you go to live music shows, what your favorite color is and what your favorite pet is. It then assesses your personal style and comes up with recommendations of ringtones especially for you. (I was sophisticated and refined.) Of course, you may be the type who instinctively knows where to turn for your ringtones without such guidance. More power to you!

How did ringtones become such a prominent social force? According to the Web site the history-of.net, ringtones are European in origin with the first of these telephonic signatures sold in Finland in 2001. At the time, Finnish teenagers were heavily into text messaging and the Finns were trying to further develop their cellular technology. According to the history-of.net Web site, it was Matti Paananen, co-founder and chief technology officer at Helsinki-based Add2Phone, who invented the business of selling custom ring tones. As soon as American companies got wind of it, they too wanted to take advantage of the market. After all, there were 137 million Americans who spent around $70 billion a year on mobile telecommunications services. The American companies conducted market research that revealed that teenage and college girlsall who loved to talk on the phonewere the target customers. According to the history-of Web site, Boost Mobile, a prepaid cellular company majority-owned by Nextel, was the first to unveil a phone targeted at teenage girls who liked to surf the net and chat on their phones for lengthy periods. Their phones came with nearly 500 ring tones, and featured pop-music songs such as “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”, “Like a Virgin”, “Funky Town”, “California Dreamin'”, and “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.” Sounds like the old transistor radios we used to hear around the beach.
As phones become fancier and even more technologically advanced, even more people will be able to take advantage of ever-evolving ring tone options. Analyst Dana Thorat at IDC, a technology research firm, estimates that 9.9 million people downloaded a ring tone in 2003, up from 4.8 million in 2002. IDC predicts that number will grow to 54.3 million by the end of 2007. Richard Jesty, an analyst at The Arc Group, a London-based telecommunications consulting firm, says, “Over time, the novelty will wear off, but not yet.” He expects that sales will remain strong through 2008, eventually hitting $5.2 billion worldwide.
So what ringtone will you choose to make your very own personal statement? Keep in mind that whatever one you select will say a lot about you.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few years, you know that ring tones have taken the world by storm. Everyone wants to express their personality by customizing their mobile phone with the hottest ring tones. So what are the newest ring tones that everyone seems to want?

One way of finding out is to look at search engine tools to see what people are searching for. The popular searches related to ring tones will reveal to us which artists or songs or sounds are most in vogue.

One popular keyword tool is Wordtracker. Doing a search for ringtones on Wordtracker reveals that most people look for a big set of ringtones rather than just for one artist. The variety of musical options available to people has grown dramatically in recent years, so it is no surprise that people want to have a large variety from which to choose.

But by examining more data, we discover a few specific facts about what ring tones are hot. It is perfectly understandable that over Christmas time, Christmas ring tones are very popular. This is of course just a temporary factor. A somewhat more surprising concept is that people want to listen to ringtones from popular television series. The TV series 24 is very popular in the United States and many people look for 24 ringtones. These are also called CTU ring tones, where CTU stands for Counter Terrorism Unit – the fictional government counterterrorism agency in the series. Ringtones from the show American Idol are also very popular right now.

People also seek out funny ring tone sounds. The mosquito sound and the barking dog sound are both very popular right now. Some people look for irritating ring tone sounds like a high pitch tone. Perhaps they want to put this ring tone secretly onto the phone of a friend for a practical joke?

When it comes to individual musicians, both recent and established musicians are well represented. Justin Timberlake, Van Halen, Metallica, 50 Cent, and a wide variety of other acts have plenty of ringtones out there.

Even video games are getting contributing ringtones. Many people look for ring tones from games like Final Fantasy, Halo, and Super Mario. Some movies are also well represented. Ringtones from The Godfather always show up among the top searches for ring tones.

So where are online shoppers going to get their ring tones? There are some companies that provide software tools that allow you to create your own ringtones from your own set of CDs or MP3 files. But for people who are not willing to spend time making their own ringtones, there are other services that give you unlimited ringtone downloads for a one-time fee. These services tend to be much less expensive than those services that deceptively advertise free ringtones but really just sign you up for an expensive monthly service plan. So it usually makes lots of sense to research ringtone deals fairly extensively before jumping in.

But one thing is clear – ring tones are here to stay, with plenty of variety to keep everyone happy! So why not show your individuality by customizingpersonalizing your mobile phone with your own set of ring tones!

One of the neatest features of today’s modern cell phones is the ability to get ringtones for them that you can download to your phone. You can associate a particular ring tone to specific callers so that you can tell who is calling without even looking at your phone, just by listening to the ringtone you have assigned to that caller.

Almost all cell phones have this ability today and the amount of creativity that cell phone owners are showing with the ring tones they have chosen is truly amazing. Think of how you could set that up on your phone. When your son calls from college, his assigned ringtone might be the song “Money”, since you know that is what he is calling you to request. When your boss calls you, his ringtone might be the 70’s rock song “Taking Care Of Business”. When your flaky neighbor calls who always wants to talk to you about the latest money-making scheme he has discovered, your cell phone might play the theme song from “Looney Tunes”. When your ex calls you to ask about your late alimony payment, your cell phone might play the ringtone from the Wizard Of Oz, “Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead”. The possibilities are endless and are limited only by your imagination.
