Ringtones for Your Mobile Phone
Do you love mobile phone or cellphone ringtones?
Everyone loves ringtones – it's great to have your favourite tune as the ringtone on our phone (it makes me smile to hear the Simpson's tune every time my mobile phone rings, that's for sure). It's also very useful to personalise your ringtone as you can then distinguish your own cell phone ringing.
The ringtone resources here are ones that we've looked at and think they're among the best on the market – you should find something to suit you!
Monophonic, Polyphonic, Truetone, Mastertone and Realtone
– What does it all mean?
Monophonic ringtones were the fist ringtones on mobile phones. With this type of ringtone one note is played at a time, so the ringtone does sound a little basic.
Polyphonic ringtones are made up of notes that can be played simultaneously, or notes that can be played at the same time, although at a different pitch in order to create a melody. This allows the ringtone to be more realistic and melodious.
Truetones, also called realtones or mastertones, are ringtones that have been made from a sampled audio format such as an MP3. These are now the most popular ringtones on the market because they are so realistic. Many new songs are now released as a truetone ringtone and in some cases even before the single is released.
