So I got this cell phone and all the ring tones sound like crap. There are 2 ways to get more or differnt ring tones. The first way is to buy them using the phone to go on line and download them. Most of them suck and they cost $1.00- $2.00 and you can't even hear them first. The other way is to use a music composer on the phone to make up your own tones. I thought is might be cool to make some Frank Black ring tones but I'm not musicly talented at all. Any help would be great.

just so you know, you can also go online using your computer and then give your number and they send it. i think all free ones have started charging now, but most let you preview... some have all the stuff you need to press to do it yourself.
i wouldn't know how to go about composing my own though... |

Thanks Steve, but I really want some Frank Black or some Pixies. I haven't seen any for cell phones yet.

| The Darth Vader Imperial March theme always goes down a treat in a bar, or on the bus, or ever on the merry go round. |

i made my own "where is my mind" ring tone, and i'm working on a "cold heart of stone," but that might take awhile

I'm not typically one for musical ringtones, but having the Imperial March as my ring would be all sorts of cool - I might not even answer it. :) Or, of course, a Pixies/FB song.

Unfortunately my phone isn't good enough to download ring tones. A friend of mine has the Imperial March though. Whenever his phone rings, we sing along. "Da Da Da Daa DaDa Daa DaDa", With the imposing presence of Darth Vader drawing ever nearer. You expect him to bust down the door and storm in at any moment, Stormtrooper battalion in tow.

From looking at some of the free downloads at download.com, there are some simple programs for creating rings. I like the idea of converting midi files (many, many pixie songs already done) to the phone ring type-file.
But my Nokia 3360 don't do shit.

There is a guy in Dublin who can compose a mean version of Debaser and HCYMan on the mobile.
You know who you are!!! Step into the light! (Don't know about texting them to USA though) |

On that subject - I have the opening B Line/G riff for Debaser as my ringtone on Nokia 5210 and my Missus has a sound-byte of Debaser on her Sony High Tek Dooda.
Amazing how may people hear it and say - 'hey isn't that the Pixies?' (I say - 'no it's that guy from Dublin!) |

i think 4 is the length of the note (like the second part of 4/4)
and the 1 is the octave |

i don't want to sound like a know it all, but i think those notes should be a step higher
eg. 8d2 8d2 8f#2 8f#2 8g2 etc... |
