Most free ringtones available on the internet are illegal,
subject to copyright restrictions or crap (sounds awful). You can get free
ringtones to your phone if you compose your own ringtones on your pc and
transfer the ringtones to your phone. If you have a phone with a built in
ringtone composer you can also compose your own free ringtones.
In most of the cases you also need software and cables to transfer the "free
ringtones" to your phone. These things aren´t free so actually there are no such
thing as free ringtones!
Free MIDI ringtones
If you compose your own MIDI tones or find free MIDI ringtones on the internet
you can download them to your phone using a cable or infrared connection. You
also need the right software for sending the ringtones to the phone. Nokia and
other mobile phone brands often have their own phone manager programs and some
of them include multimedia convertors and other prorams to manage ringtones and
graphics. There are also many third party softwares. With these softwares you
can change the format of the ringtone, from MP3 to midi, midi to RTTTL, wav to
midi etc. Note that MIDI is a much lower quality sound format than MP3 or WAV. A
format change from mp3 or wav to midi degrades the recording appreciably.
Free MP3 ringtones
The internet is full of free MP3 songs and tunes. Many people say that there is
no "good" way to convert MP3 music to ringtones. MIDI is a much lower quality
sound format than MP3 or WAV. A format change from mp3 or wav to midi is going
to degrade the recording appreciably. There are however numerous "midi
converters", "mp3 converters" or "wav converters" available. Use Google to find
them!
RTTTL
ringtones
RTTTL stands for Ring Tone Text Transfer Language and it is a
format for coding the notes of a ringtone in a universal format. With a special
ringtone convertor program like Nokring or LogoManager RTTTL ringtones can be
converted to other ringtone formats and uploaded to your phone via datacable or
a infrared connection.
If you have a phone with a built-in ringtone composer you can use a ringtone
convertor software to transfer RTTTL ringtones to key press format. It´s quite
simple - just enter the key press sequence given to you by the ringtone
converter software on your phone.
How to get free ringtones?
A good place to start searching for free RTTTL ringtones is Google. Search for
RTTTL ringtones, RTTTL tones, RTTTL convertor etc. There are also software that
converts MIDI into RTTTL.
Remember that many songs that are available in MIDI, RTTTL or Nokia keypress
format may be subject to copyright restrictions.
