My ringtone is Thea King playing an excerpt from one of the Crusell Quartets (I have it on CD so I put it in my car CD player, and pressed record on my phone for the first 32 bars or so)
Yup. I'm a clarinet geek. Soon I'll be buying that 2.99 sticker on Ebay that says "Got Clarinet?" and putting it on whatever car I end up getting.

Interesting, Alexi, Will have to try something beyond Beeth 9th [theme?-hymn?] . Our CA son had a license plate frame made up saying "70 Years of Woodwinds" however, seemingly, not many read it . Its out of date now, tho, try 75 !! Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

The last New Yorker had a piece on the ringtone industry, which amounts to $4 billion annually worldwide (a mere $350 million in the US). The latest type is pretty hi-fi ("mastertone"), created directly from recorded samples, and pays royalty slices to composer, performer etc. It is expected that the payment schemes will be subverted by consumer software that will make mastertone rings directly from mp3s.
I was taken by the writer's statement that a lot of hip-hop (the source for 50% of ringtones) sounds like a cell phone ring in its original form.
