Remember when cell phones only had MIDI format ringtones? Imagine having to look for a ringtone of the musical group Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark, or OMD, in a MIDI format back then. I think it would have been near to impossible; you would have had to make your own OMD MIDI ringtone. Thankfully though, with the years technology has advanced a lot and now, even though every cell phone still supports MIDI format ringtones, you can have your favorite song in excellent quality as a polyphonic ringtone. You can even have your favorite OMD Polyphonic ringtones.

For those of you that don’t know, MIDI ringtones differentiate from polyphonic ringtones by they way they sound and how much space they occupy in your cell phone’s memory. A MIDI ringtone sounds as if a little piano would be playing the song and, although it sounds pretty cool, it have many limitations. For example, with OMD polyphonic ringtones you will be able to listen to the lyrics of any OMD song, like If You Leave. Without an OMD polyphonic ringtone, like a MIDI ringtone, you’ll only be able to hear the rhythm of the song played by distinctive sort of piano keys.

After the movie Pretty in Pink, I fell in love with the OMD song If You Leave and instantly downloaded the OMD polyphonic ringtone to my cell phone. For about six months I had that OMD polyphonic ringtone play each time anyone called me.

Then I got a pretty cool cell phone that let me program a different ringtone for each person that could call me. You can imagine that I ended up downloading the best OMD songs and gave my closest friends a separate OMD polyphonic ringtone each. At first I had to look at the screen to see how it was, but now just by the sound of a different OMD polyphonic ringtone I know who it is.

For my husband I have the If You Leave OMD ringtone and for my mom I have Souvenir. I gave my best friend Tesla Girls because it’s both our favorite song. I have a lot of fun with my friends and family with each of the OMD polyphonic ringtones.

Thank goodness that cell phones can have polyphonic ringtones, I don’t know what I’d do without my OMD polyphonic ringtones that I’ve grown so accustomed to. It may sound a little exaggerated but, as a friend of mine says, once you go polyphonic you can’t go back, or something.

What is Ringtones?

Ringtones are melodic sounds a cellular or cell phone makes when an incoming call or message arrives. Since cellular phones are significantly more sophisticated than landline phones, ringtones can be personalized to suit the owner’s personal taste. A variety of ringtones have appealed to consumers, increasing handsets saleability.

Why use Ringtones

There are a number of reasons consumers use distinct ringtones.

1) Distinguish Callers – Advanced feature sets allow for different sounds to signify different callers.

2) Identification – When you are in a meeting and a phone rings you will know if its yours without having to look

3) Fun – Lets face, having a cell phone with personality and character is appealing to general consumers

Types of Ringtones

There are typically two different types of ringtones: monophonic ringtones and polyphonic ringtones.

Monophonic Ringtones

Monophonic tones are simple tunes, most commonly compatible with today’s cell phones. The majority of cell phones can only make a single tone at a time. The monophonic ringtone tune is comprised of a series of sequential tones at different frequencies.

Polyphonic Ringtones

Polyphonic tones are played on cellular phones that have the capability of playing up to 16 separate tones at once. The combination of tones creates a harmonic melody. Polyphonic ringtones are more musical than a monophonic ringtone. Newer phones support polyphonic ringtones.

It is likely that future cell phones will be capable of producing musical ringtones of CD quality.

Finding Ringtones & Ringtone Compatibility

There are a number of websites that offer ringtones, graphics or even games to download onto your cell phone. The websites vary in that some allow you to purchase specific ringtones while others offer subscriptions that allow you to download an unlimited number of ringtones. When you locate a ringtone be sure to first ensure that it will work with your cellular model phone and that the site is respectful of the artists copyright. Like any original works, artists receive royalties for ringtones, be sure that the website has the permission to distribute the ringtone. Sites that we’ve found helpful in finding ringtones and determining compatibility are:

Ringtone Composition

Frequently consumers will wish to compose personalized ringtones. Occasionally, cell phones can be programmed with ringtones by entering a series of buttons. Software is also available that allow consumers to create their own melodic ringtones. The software runs on a computer, and once the tune is perfected it can be transferred to the phone via a data cable.

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.
