Polyphonic ringtones
Polyphonic ringtones or MIDI ringtones were introdused in 2002. Back then not many phones supported the use of polyphonic ringtones. Most new phones can play polyphonic ringtones.
MIDI ringtones
MIDI ringtones (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) enables the creation of polyphonic ringtones (musical compositions with differnet sounds). Polyphonic means that multiple tones can be played at the same time using instrument sounds such as guitar, drums, electronic piano, etc.
MP3 ringtones
The Beatniks audio technology can be integrated with MPEG codecs to play back MP3 files as ringtones. A clip from a real song on your mobile phone is quite cool. The BAE technology is mobile phone manufacturers such as Motorola, Siemens and Sony Ericsson. The Nokia 7650 was one of the first cell phones to play BAE or MP3 ringtones.
Free ringtones
You can get free ringtones to your phone if you compose your own ringtones. If you have a phone with a built in ringtone composer you can also compose your own free ringtones.
True tones
True tones was launched by Nokia (2003). Many web sites also talk about True tones or Real tones when they refer to ringtones that can have extra sounds in them like singing or other strange sounds.
Amr sound clips
AMR (Adaptive Multi-rate Codec) files can be recorded using the phones built-in Recorder application. This way you can record yourself saying "Mums's calling" and assing the ringtone to "mum" (Nokia 7650 allows assigning separate ringtone to each single contact as well as for each contacts group).
Nokia composer ringtones
The Nokia 3210 was the first Nokia phone to use the composer ringtones. Composer ringtones are also used by other cell phone manufacturers. Composer phones have a built in ringtone composer and you can compose new ringtones directly on their keyboards.
Key press ringtones
Key press ringtones can be directly entered into your phone. It´s much easier to compose ringtones with the key press format compared to the composer format (phones with ringtone composer). You do not need to understand the special symbols that appear on the composer screen as a result.
