Ringtone glossasry and info
A cell phone ringtone is the sound your cellular phone makes when you have a call! Don't get confused about the namings; cell phone ringtones, tones, ring tones, ringingtones, ringer tones, tunes, melodies, mp3 ringtones, Hi-Fi ringtones, Groovetunes, True tones, Real tones, midi ringtones, mega tones...
Polyphonic ringtones or MIDI ringtones were introdused in 2002. Back then not many phones supported the use of polyphonic ringtones. Most new phones can play polyphonic ringtones.
MIDI ringtones (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) enables the creation of polyphonic ringtones (musical compositions with differnet sounds). Polyphonic means that multiple tones can be played at the same time using instrument sounds such as guitar, drums, electronic piano, etc.
The Beatniks audio technology can be integrated with MPEG codecs to play back MP3 files as ringtones. A clip from a real song on your mobile phone is quite cool. The BAE technology is mobile phone manufacturers such as Motorola, Siemens and Sony Ericsson. The Nokia 7650 was one of the first cell phones to play BAE or MP3 ringtones.
You can get free ringtones to your phone if you compose your own ringtones. If you have a phone with a built in ringtone composer you can also compose your own free ringtones.
True tones was launched by Nokia (2003). Many web sites also talk about True tones or Real tones when they refer to ringtones that can have extra sounds in them like singing or other strange sounds.
AMR (Adaptive Multi-rate Codec) files can be recorded using the phones built-in Recorder application. This way you can record yourself saying "Mums's calling" and assing the ringtone to "mum" (Nokia 7650 allows assigning separate ringtone to each single contact as well as for each contacts group).
The Nokia 3210 was the first Nokia phone to use the composer ringtones. Composer ringtones are also used by other cell phone manufacturers. Composer phones have a built in ringtone composer and you can compose new ringtones directly on their keyboards.
Key press ringtones can be directly entered into your phone. It´s much easier to compose ringtones with the key press format compared to the composer format (phones with ringtone composer). You do not need to understand the special symbols that appear on the composer screen as a result.
RTTTL stands for Ringtone Text Transfer Language and it is a format for coding the notes of a ringtone in a universal format. With special ringtone convertor programs RTTTL ringtones can be converted to other ringtone formats and uploaded to your cell phone via datacable or a infrared connection.
On some cell phones like the Nokia 3650, 7650, 9210 and 9290 you can listen to any WAV file. WAV files can be downloaded or copied from PC and can contain anything - voice, music etc.
Nokia originally developed SMS to send short text messages between cell phones. Cell phones also use this technic to receive and send non-text information like graphics and ringtones. An sms ringtone can be sent to the phone via sms.
Ringtone converters are programs that converts ringtones between different formats so that you can keypress or transfer (with a datacable or infrared connection) ringtones to your mobile phone. Some web sites also offer online convertors and some programs allow you to convert MIDI into RTTTL.
