ABOUT RINGTONES
Types of Ringtones
The
three types of ringtones are monophonic,
polyphonic and
true tones (real
sound). True tones are
the highest quality ringtones on today’s cell phones.
The sound quality of ringtones will not be as good as a CD
or an MP3, simply
because it is best to keep ringtone files as small as
possible to save space on your phone for other files and documents.
Depending on how long ago you purchase your mobile phone, you will
have one of three different types of sound, real tone, polyphonic or
monophonic. If you have
a phone that has anything but real tone sound, there will be some
limitations as to the way that the phone plays ringtones.
Most cell phones these days will be made with the highest
possible sound abilities because manufacturers want to be
competitive and because they understand that if a better technology
is available then that is what people will want.
If you buy a phone model that has been around for a while or
a phone that falls into a lower cost category, you may not have the
sound quality that you expect so be sure to ask before buying.
Polyphonic sound quality lies between real sound which is the
highest quality and monophonic sound, which is the lowest sound
quality. Polyphonic
ringtones can play more than one note at the same time and
distinguishes between the various instruments however the sound is
not a true sound but more of an approximate sound using midi.
Generally, polyphonic ringtones are recorded and stored in
midi format and they do have a distinct midi sound to them.
You will be able to find ring tones in all types of styles of music
if you search hard enough. Most
good ringtone provider web sites offer visitors ringtones in a wide
variety of styles. Therefore,
it really doesn’t matter how obscure your musical tastes are, you
will be able to find ringtones that suit your taste in music.
If you love country music, simply search for the country
category when you are on a ringtone provider web site.
Most ringtone providers offer ringtones in pop, R&B,
rock, country, reggae, latin, classical and a whole range of other
styles.
Ringtone
providers are companies that specialize in making ringtones
available to cell phone users.
They provide a catalog of music that can be downloaded and
played on cell phones as a ringtone.
They provide ringtones and not actual cell phone service and
they provide ringtones regardless as to which cell phone provider
you have a contract with.
