Truly Unique Ringtone Generator
September 28th, 2005 | by amarfresh |
Users look to ringtones to differentiate themselves and their phones. The use of ringtones and wallpapers helps mobile users personalize their phones. Hip ringtones and wallpapers can make you the most popular guy in school. But what about the user who shuns Mariah, 50 Cent, and Green Day ringtones? What if you want that special, unique ringtone that no one has? There is now WolframTones.
Wolfram Research Labs, created by British mathematician Stephen Wolfram, offers online musical resources where one can instantly generate a unique, 30-second ringtone.
The site has an infinite variety of ringtones generated by mathematics.
I tried it and it works. You can choose the style of music, and even select the instruments. The pattern above is a visual representation of Wolfram ringtone I “created”.
However, at $2/song it seems like a big ripoff to be unique. Especially since there are no royalties being paid. (Firefox let me save the ringtone I generated.) Aren’t there tons free of midi patterns available already. IDK about this “unique” ringtone market.
Given the choice, I think most of the ringtone consuming public will probably choose a “real” ringtone as opposed to one of these.
