DO YOU HAVE EAGLES AS YOUR RINGTONE?

[MikeA]

I think the hardest part about ringtones is finding the part you want to use for the tone in a song.

I never tried any of the "ringtone dedicated" software. Since I use "Audacity" a lot for other digital recording purposes, I use it for the ringtones too. It has a nice "sillyscope" that shows the waveform of the song that you load into it. You can pull MP3 or WAV files in (audio tracks on CDs are really WAV) and of course about anything you download off the internet are MP3.

Once you get the song into Audacity, you simply highlight the part that you want to keep and delete the rest.

The trick is that most phones will only handle about 500K snatches of songs and some phones are particular about the compression. It is trial and error to cut a piece of a song and then work on the compression until the size is within the right boundary. The higher the compression, the longer the ringtone while remaining under the 500K wall.

The best thing about "Audacity" is that it is free.

Thanks for all that advice everybody. I appreciate it and will certainly investigate some of the suggestions.

Thanks Nancy, I'll see what I can do with these.

True, Maleah, I can't find any Glenn tones on any of the websites. the ones I had were from this site, but they seem to be gone now. What is the programme you bought?

The one that I bought is just called "Ringtone Media Studio" and it came in a blue box. I got it from Office Depot. I doubt that's much help though, sorry.

I cut my ringtones with a program called "Audiograbber", make an mp3 and copy it via bluetooth on my Samsung S5something. I always us the chorus for ringtones. I have

This way to happiness (Mum)
Dirty laundry (Dad)
You belong to the city (the sax part) (Grandma)
Love rules (my Lovey)
and for several friends:
Sitdown you're rocking the boat
Calling me
I will not go quietly
Busy beeing fabulous
Get over it
Long Road out of Eden
What makes the Irish heart beat
and for callers without number or number I don't know:
How long

Short - there's no other ringtone on my phone but Eagles

I've found that if you keep your ringtone to around 30 seconds or less, the download isn't a problem. My cellular service is with Verizon and once I've created the ringtone (saved as an MP3 or WAV file) I simply send it to my cell phone number @vtext.com and then select 'save as ringtone' in the options. It's quick, easy and the program I use (makeownringtones) is free online. You just download the song to your computer, isolate the section you want to use and save. The first time I used it I was a little confused but after I completed the process the first time it was a snap!

Yep if the ringtone is over 30 seconds I can't even send it to someone
