SmashTheTones

Listening to the Make podcast, Phil Torrone talked about this free service that will make a ringtone out of any arbitrary MP3 or AAC. I did it with my theme song, and now my Motorola V180 rings with Lee’s kicking guitar solo. This is highly cool. I’ll call myself the next time I podcast so everyone can hear it.

As an aside, I was going to leave this as a comment on the Make blog but you have to log in, which means that I never will. I really enjoy Phil’s podcast, but his very next DIY project should be building himself a damn pop filter for his mike. Hearing people pop their P’s is the single most annoying part of many podcasts that I like. Or if you weren’t feeling so DIY, you could just buy one.

    If you have a Nokia phone that supports Nokia PC Suite (http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,72014,00.html) you can also make ring-tones out of any MIDI file. I guess getting an MP3/ACC to MIDI might be a challenge. But is ia pretty good option. – Steve

    Cool beans, Phil. I know Dawn and Drew thought I was zinging on you, I just thought it a little ironic that your DIY show could have really benefited from a very tiny DIY project. Remove the plosives! Thanks for leaving me the feedback.
