The ability is finally available for us iPhone owners to easily create our own “ring tones”. It’s been a contentious issue amongst much of the user community, as there’s been press back against the costs and inability to create tones from your own music or your own recordings. I’ve paid for and created a couple and made some of my own using rogue amoeba’s “MakeiPhoneRingtone“. Ultimately, I only need a couple, and it’s easier to pay for them if it means they’re retained through updates. Time will tell.
Meanwhile, I thought I’d share the choices I’ve made for the fun if it.
My wife’s calls play a selected cut from Bill Wither’s “Lovely Day“.Work calls play a section of the theme From the movie “Brazil”“.All other calls play a snippet of a tune called “Powerhouse” which will be easily recognized by anybody who either grew up on Warner Bros cartoons, or has seen the recent Visa Debit Card ads.One is the soundtrack to the first iPhone commercial ever aired, in which numerous clips of well known movie scenes are strung together, all of them featuring the character saying “Hello“.The other get’s my vote as the absolute best ringtone idea ever… but then I thought of it at lunch today and made it when I got back to work so I’m a bit biased. It’s a perfectly suited short verbal clip from the classic film, “Blazing Saddles“.
Two other’s linger on my phone for sheer novelty.
Hey… if the tone fits….
