Ringtones Are Not Mobile Music, and Vice Versa

Carlo at Mobhappy has a great post describing the differences between mobile music and ringtones. Although they are both musical, ringtones and mobile music serve completely different purposes.

Part of the reason that mobile music has failed to take off quickly has been that people with vested interests blur the definition of what it is. Ringtones may be musical, and they may be played on a mobile device, but ringtones aren’t mobile music. And mobile music isn’t ringtones. It’s more than a question of semantics, it’s an issue of purpose. Music is entertainment; ringtones are expression. Kids don’t buy ringtones just because they like they way they sound, they buy them because of what they say — messages like “look, I’m cool, I’ve got this ringtone like the other kids”, or “look, I’m cool, I’ve got this unique ringtone”.

It’s your music, you own it, do what you want with it. Burn it, rip it, mix it, mash it, ringtone it.
