Ringtones Released Before Actual Songs Released

Surprises

from the well,-that's-something dept

Okay, okay. I get it. Ringtones are a big deal. However, it's still surprising that two music groups have agreed to release some of their songs in the ringtone format before they release the actual songs anywhere. I wonder how popular those will be. Part of the attraction (it seems) to the ringtones, is being able to recognize what real song they are from. To have a ringtone that doesn't match any known song seems sort of pointless.

    Ummmm....

    Ummmm.... is this the 3rd story on ringtones on Techdirt today? Tech news must be getting slow or something, I think I'd even prefer the Apple-Bashing days of yore!;-)

      What Apple bashing days of yore? Surely you're mistaken.

      Okay, I have no idea what's up with all the ringtone stories, but they just kept showing up. So there.

        I knew you'd like the Apple remark... any new news on vibrate tones? How hard can it be!?! I mean they already have different vibration patterns for ringing vs. voicemail....
