RingTones
 

hey everyone. I just got myself a new phone last week and now that I got an sd card, i can put more ringtones in. the ones that came with the phone weren't that great. so i'm wondering if theres some AWESOME sites where i can get FREE ringtones for my phone or what your favorite ringtones are. I'm looking for something cool; not too crazy but also not just a song.

right now, I'm thinking of going with the Crank cellphone sound just because it sounds really cool.

This new phone, does it come with a data cable? If so, you can cut your own ringtones out of your favorite MP3s and use those. In my experience ringtones that are offered for free suck major ass. However, if you are looking for some awesome polyphonic ringtones (not MP3), hit me on on Private Message - I know a secret.

Oh i know. I recently found a ton of websites with some and they all suck. I was looking for something other than music. like what about actual ring sounds?

Oh I have a site, can't remember right now, you upload your music to it, it will create the ringtone, then send it to your phone... mywrex.com or something. Let me find it again...

THIS is my question. I've pretty much known for a while that this *can* be done... I'm just not sure exactly how. I'm willing to d/l a chunk of freeware to do it if needed, but if someone could sort of guide me along, I'd greatly appreciate it. AT&Tingular already gets enough of my money, dammit.

FWIW, I've got a 1st gen Samsung Blackjack w/data cable and bigass giganto MicroSD card. I routinely swap other date between it and my PC, so I'm not totally blind on this - just the "making ringtones" part.

Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

Assuming your phone will play MP3 files, all you need is an MP3 editor. I've got Motorola Phone Tools and it sucks, but I can crop out the part of a song I want for a ring tone. Its very simple, actually.

Before you start fiddling with sound files, check to see that your phone will play MP3 ringtones. Then check to see if you have a way to transfer files

You take a sound file and edit it down to the 15 or so seconds you like best. I use soundedit on an SGI/IRIX, but there are similar things for Macs & Linux. I have no idea about Windows, but i would assume that there's something out there you could use.

If your file isn't an MP3 already, you need to convert your output to MP3. I upload via Bluetooth, which may or may not be an option for you.

My text message tone
Federal model 7T civil defense siren sounding an alert tone.

My default ringtone
Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice (22 seconds)

Anyone find any sites with actual ringing sounds on it? I'm getting sick of all these MP3's on my phone. It didn't come with just a standard ringing sound, which I'd really like. I'm having no luck finding any. Can anyone help?
