ToneMine.com - Mix Up Your Own Ringtones

ToneMine is a new site that lets you mix your own ringtones for your cell phone. Basically, ToneMine is a lot like other ringtone sites, except for it allows for more customizability and comes with a twist of web 2.0. You can access several of ToneMine's basic features without having to register; you can listen to ringtones within the community, create and mix tones, email them to friends without signing up. If you do sign up, which you may as well do because it's free, you'll have access to more options like widgets you can embed on any webpage and ringtones you can save, tag, and download to your desktop. When it comes to creating a tone, start by choosing a package. Packages correspond to different genres of music; there's a hip hop one, a bluegrass one, a funk one, etc. Once you've chosen a package, you can customize your tone by dragging and dropping sound bites from ToneMine's library, the community vault, and your own music collection.

"Here the ringtone is reinvented. And you're the inventor. Just create your opus and then download it, store it, even share it with other ToneMiners. Unleash your musical genius now!"

ToneMine offers a more extensive service than other ringtone creation sites, and allows you to access a variety of features without having to register. The site is fun to play around on and offers a plethora of different musical genres which you can personalize with your own music library.

ToneMine takes a little time to figure out how to use, since there are no real instructions regarding how to navigate and operate the ringtone creation interface. I also wonder about legality issues; if you can upload content from your own music library, the possibility exists that said content was obtained illegally and would therefore also be illegal to distribute in the form of a ringtone; does ToneMine address this concern somewhere?
