Call me on my rhumba numba
You know those people with the fancy schmancy cell phones and the obnoxious ringtones that play entire songs and annoy you to no end but they think they're really cool? You know -- those people, um, like me:
G'head, give a listen. It's just 62kb.
I've never before had a phone with Bluetooth and MP3 capabilities and when MLB and I got new RAZRs a couple of weeks ago, it set me off on a path that will eventually lead me straight to perdition, but the journey surely is fun.
I used iTunes to snip a section of music from one of our dance numbers ("Sway," by The Pussycat Dolls), which was a bit more complicated than usual since it was in Protected AAC format (purchased from the iTunes Music Store) and I had to get around the DRM protection. I then moved the MP3 over to the phone via Bluetooth and assigned it to my wife's mobile number so I'll be able to quickly recognize her call, not to mention aggravate everyone around me.
But, lest those put-upon souls become too exercised over the ringtone, they should be forewarned: it could get worse. I have a rhumba and I know how to use it.
The one thing I wish I'd done is edit the clip to fade it at the end, not that I plan on ever letting it run that long...
Great, and when you leave the phone on in church services on Sunday, during a quiet moment, it breaks out into a Rumba. Praise the Lord with a loud noise.

You have inspired me, and after reading about your new Ringtone, I went out, purchased a Razr phone, converted a favorite song I have to Ringtone format (took 6 or 7 steps), and now here's mine.

Let's try this again.
Delete this, Eric, if it doesn't work.
John, great 'tone, Kangaroo Dude! ;-)
Posted by: Eric at September 9, 2006 12:49 PMGood choice, though I prefer Peggy Lee's version of "Sway"
