Cellphone users worldwide spend $1 billion a year downloading musical ringtones. So the music industry may not be too pleased with a new way to make your own ringtones at home using your record collection.
Magix Ringtone Maker is a PC program costing just $20 that lifts music from a CD or MP3 file, converts it to ringtone format and loads it straight into a mobile phone. To stay legal, users should first obtain “express permission from record companies, says Magix, based in Berlin, Germany.”
