Later, it became possible to use digital audio recordings as ringtones. The recordings might be of music, speech, or other sounds. Mainstream music recordings used as ringtones are sometimes called "realtones" or "truetones". Real tones, which are often excerpts from pop songs, have become popular as ringtones. A recent innovation is the singtone, whereby the user’s voice is recorded to a popular track and then “tuned-up” automatically to sound in key. This can then be downloaded as a ringtone or sent to another user’s mobile phone.
[edit] Ringtone formats
eMelody - Older Ericsson format.
iMelody - Most new phones that don't do Nokia's Smart Messaging are using this format.
KWS - Kyocera's ringer format.
MID / MIDI - Popular sound format.
Morse code - Text files with a .MORSE extension get converted into morse code songs
MOT - An older ringer format for Motorola phones.
MP3 - Some phones support ringtones that are mp3 format.
Nokia / SCKL / OTT - Nokia Smart Messaging format. Nokia phones can receive ringtones as a text message. Ringtone tools can create these text messages. This allows anyone with a compatible phone to load their own ringtones in without a data cable. There are other phones besides Nokia that use this.
PDB - Palm database. This is the format used to load ringtones on PDA phones such as the Kyocera 6035 and the Handspring Treo
