A personalized ringtone is worth a thousand preset tones. It's no wonder why so many users produce their own, and why so many developers join the talent show. While all ringtone-making software share some commonalities, they usually vary by some degree of pricing, audio editing sensitivity, and delivery mode. RingtoneExpress, for instance, is light on editing tools, but offers four methods for loading MP3 and WMA content onto the phone. The pricing is kept low, about $10 for limitless ringtone creation, and uniquely, it can also suck the audio out of YouTube videos for conversion to an MP3 ringtone.

To stepyourgameup: Why do you being so quickly for poke fun at other peoples? Maybe he are living in country not US of A. Maybe for him, English is second language, maybe he just starting to learning it. Maybe he is foreign exchange student, trying to better himself. How many language YOU are speaking and writing besides English? (Note the upper-case E)

I didn't have any trouble understanding the gist of hera08624's message, did you? Could you do as well in French? German? Russian? Really, your comment was so junior high school.... Like my mama used to say, "If you can't think of something nice to say, don't say anything at all." (I know, I'm not following my own advice, but I just couldn't help myself in this case. stepyourgameup's remarks were just too egregious to ignore, LOL)

This has been a Public Service Announcement. No words were harmed in the making of this rant. Thank you.

Maybe not, but your grammar is atrocious!!!

In regards to the article the idea behind RingtoneExpress is neat, I just wish there was a freeware program available that would provide the same service. I know, I know, it only costs $10, but still that's more money than I care to waste on personalizing my phone.
