Mobile Ringtones
Mobile phone ringtones
are like hot cakes for the youngsters, the market is huge, estimated
world wide sales of $ 2.5 Billion per year. The cost of a mobile phone
ringtone ranges from £1.99 to over £10. Most singers and performers
provide rights for their melodies to be converted to ringtones versions.
Survey shows that about 26% of mobile phone owners downloaded at least
once a ringtone. Many people downloading more than one as you can
customise and set the phone to play different ringtones for a specific
caller.
For instance if your mum is calling the mobile phone will play a certain
ringtone and another one for dad and for your girl friend a different
one so you don’t have to guess who is calling you, it is totally
personalized per caller.
There are four types of ringtones:
* Monophonic ringtones play a melody of a song one note at a time, with
no harmonies.
* Polyphonic tones add harmonies to the song.
* Real-life or True Tone mobile phone ringtones include voices, quotes,
or other strange, real sounds.
* Master tones are compressed clips of actual songs, as heard on the
radio (not just their melodies or a simple harmonic version).
