Explained - Monophonic, Polyphonic and truetone Ringtones
Ringtones represents your way of thinking. It represents your
individuality and personality. Today different ringtones are
used to represent different contacts. This means that a father ,
mother or family will trigger a particular ringtone while a
friend may trigger a different ringtone.
What is this talk of monophonic, polyphonic and truetone
ringtones? In earlier cell phones there was only the ubiquituous
'tring tring' ringtone. But with the advent of technology and
widespead use of mobile phones the quality of rendering of the
ringtones has also improved. Monophonic ringtones have the
capability to play one tone. These use midi technology and is a
combination of multiple notes played in sequence. With the
arrival of other more advanced ringtone technologies, monophonic
ringtones are now available for free at different web sites. The
author"s bio section at the end of this article contains a lnk
to one such site.
Polyphonic ringtones are built on the same midi technology as
monophonic ringtones but have the added capacity to play more
than 40 notes in sequence. The quality of a polyphonic ringtone
is much higher than a monophonic ringtone. If your mobile
handset does not support mp3 ringtones, then polyphonic
ringtones are the best you can opt for. But in case your handset
supports mp3, then that is the option you should go for. By the
way, polyphonic ringtones are also available free of cost but
there are some select ringtones that are also chargeable. Now a
days these ringtones cost anywhere between 99c and $3. Some
sites charge on a membership basis but you can download sample
ringtones just for registering. Visit the link in the author"s
bio section for one such site.
The best quality in ringtones is the truetone and the mp3 type.
These can be downloaded into the cell and set as the ringtone.
mp3 ringtones give real audio quality and are a real money
spinner for audio companies as well as cell carriers. Whereas
the audio companies were suffering huge losses due to piracy a
few years back, today sales of ringtones account for a large
share of profits. Some onsite ringtone companies also provide
free ringtone to visitors for registering for free. These
ringtones are sometimes 15 second clips of regular blockbuster
soundtracks but may also be of other more "˜ringtonic" types like
the sound of a rocket launch or a baby crying!
