Ring tones
Today's ring tones are very diverse, and allow for customization and personalization.
New cell phones allow to associate different ringtones with different phone book entries. Some companies allow users to create and upload their own ringtones using their own music, such as CDs or MP3s. There are specialized software packages, which allow user to easily navigate and pick a specific part of the son, which will be used as a ringtone. Other packages allow users to create their own ringtones using loops, samplers and composers.
The problem is that many of these features are proprietary to specific mobile phone brands and models. However, many phones allow to use generic formats such as MP3 of MIDI, but they have to be downloaded to the phone first before they can be used as a ring tone. Music labels and other companies are taking advantage of these features and whole new industry has been developed around this. Here are some most popular artists which you san find ring tones for:
One of the latest novelties is something called Karaoke Ring Tone, which combines a musical track and user’s voice in a mix adjusted in tune and time.
