can't find any detail sales information on-line, but last night at the gym i saw on TV that MIM's had some REDONKULOUS number of cell phone downloads for 'this is why i'm hot'.not sure how much artists get a cut of the download in their mechanical rights, but jesus, dude had something like 5 Million downloads or something like that (it may have been $5 Million in download sales, either way it was a huge fucking number).that being the case, curious to know what ringtones strutters are using. while my ringtone is usually on beep/vibrate while at work, i do have the following in my cell.clipse - grindin (text)blackmoon - i gotcha' open (calls)

    There's serious money to be made off ringtones.

    My phone has a voice recorder and it lets you set your recordings as your ringtone, so i just held it up to my speakers, the quality is fine.

    Don't pretty much ALL cell/mobile phones let you do that these days? Or are guys in the US a little behind in technology? I've always wondered this when i hear people talking about 2-Ways...

    Yeah. I've been doing MP3 ringtones for about 6 years now.

    Nice, I might have to make one of those for myself


    Right now I have a beat from Dilla off of one of his beat tapes, but I have a ton for different callers.
