younevercall.com— Using only Open Source Software on Ubuntu. Don't get suckered into free ringtone offers that charge $20 a month - just make your own for Free.

My cell phone has a removable memory slot, so I bought a card for it. I connect the card to my computer via my usb digital camera, and make ringtones using itunes. It allows me to make better sound quality ringtones as well.
I've never owned a cellphone - since I've seen many adverts selling ringtones, I assumed they used some obscure file or somehow it was hard to make Yer own. I thought why would people pay for 'em?Well, now I know. Lesson learned: Lazy & stupid people.
Maybe this is going out on a limb but I'm going to speculate that most Ubuntu users are probably savvy enough to know how to make their own ringtones.Just a thought
Here's how you can skip step 1.Upload the file to here: <a class="user" href="http://media-convert.com/convert/index.php">http://media-convert.com/convert/index.php</a>which will let you convert virtually any audio format to virtually any ringtone format, as well as 'crop' it to just the clip you want.I have a clip from the Romantics 'What I like About You' (my wife's and my "song"), and as a backup, the ring from a classic rotary phone.
For your information, the article/how-to was written by an Ubuntu enthusiast and most probably his favourite OS is Ubuntu and he shared the how-to with other fellow ubuntu users. But just because he explained how to do it in his OS of choice doesn't necessarily mean you can't do it in others. To seperately write how to do it in every other distros, it would take him years and decades to finish the write-up.Next time you feel like complaining like a 12 year old non-sense with an acute shortage of commonsense and shameful lack of knowledge on GNU/Linux OS, please take the time to really get to know how to use it and also how to use an application made for one particular distro in another distro. (for example, a .rpm file can be made to work in Ubuntu by using the 'alien' command.)
Yes, I agree. I have a cheapo Sony Ericsson Z525. I just used a cheapo bluetooth dongle in Linux. KDE (but also Gnome) has nice gui drag-drop utilities to send a file to the phone.1. Click search, it finds the phone.2. drag-drop an mp3 (or gif or other file!) into the window3. click Send.4. your phone asks if it is okay to receive a file.
All I'm saying is you can make ring tones and upload them to your phone with other systems and software, does this guy want to sell you a new OS or making your own ringtones.

For modern phones:1. Download MP3 song.2. Upload MP3 song to phone.3. Set as ringtone.

Oh yeah another way ... buy a data cable and use your file manager.

Junk site. Has nothing to do with ringtones or Ubuntu
