Pocketfuzz.com - Make Your Own Ringtones

Wouldn´t it be splendid if you could create your very own ringtones ? With PocketFuzz you can do just that. The site is aimed at independent artists as a means to get their tunes out. Fans can choose what portion of a song they want to use as a ringtone. The ringtone can be sent directly to a cell phone through the site or though widgets. The tones can also be embedded into social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. Bands can sign up for free; the company will take a cut of the earnings. If for instance an artist sells a ringtone for 99 cents they´ll get 25 cents or about 50% of the net revenue (if they sign up before June 30th of this year). Text and pic messaging are also available to fans. Supported providers include Cingular, Sprint and Verizon.

“PocketFuzz allows you to sell any of your songs as ring tones. With the PocketFuzz Ringtoner, your fans can take any part of your song they want as their custom ring tone! We have no setup fees, no monthly fees, and no minimums!”

Although the independent music industry has seen a lot of saturation as far as web apps, PocketFuzz is aimed at the mobile market which is admittedly the hottest market out there. Everyone has a mobile phone and ringtones are extremely popular. With PocketFuzz, fans can support their fav bands and get exactly the music they want on their phones. Artists get a 50% cut of the profits plus potential new fans.

Will artists balk at having their songs made into ringtones? Will fans find the idea less than cool? What about copyrights? And what about bands that you´ve actually heard about?
