Free MP3 Ringtones for Cingular
For many, making their own MP3 ringtones is the way to get free MP3 ringers for Cingular phones. Tools to help you make short ringtones from all your existing CD tracks and MP3 files includes MP3 ringtone ripper software. However, you don't necessarily have to use rippers to make suitable size MP3 ringtones. Instead, you can find MP3 audio files of the suitable length from, for example, Walmart Music Store. These are 30 second audio previews of the CD tracks, and also make great ringing tones for your Cingular phone (don't go to the music downloads section for the previews, however). The sizes of these Walmart MP3 files are typically of about 235 KB, so you may have to edit the files in order to fit them on your phone. Other websites for free MP3 content include mobileplayground.co.uk and nextpimp.com. Editing Your Free MP3 Ringtones for Cingular Once you've got MP3 files to your desktop, you need to upload them to your cell phone with cables/Bluetooth/infrared and phone management software. Before uploading, you may need to edit the file, typically making the file size smaller. Free tools you can use for audio editing include Audacity, Wavepad, and Cool MP3 Splitter. Audacity is a free audio editor. With it, you can record, play and edit sounds (WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files). Editing options include Cutting, Copying and Pasting sounds, mixing tracks together or applying effects like Bass Boost or Noise Removal. Wavepad is a sound editor program for Windows. It allows you to make and edit voice and other audio recordings. You can cut, copy and paste parts of recording and, if required, add effects like echo, amplification and noise reduction. Finally, with the Cool MP3 Splitter from Yaosoft, you can use three methods to split your MP3 tracks to ringtone compatible size: split by section, split by time and split by size. |
