There are countless options for your ringtone. You can create your own by using a free app like Clideo. This app will extract audio from videos, and it will let you mute certain parts. You can even fade the sound gradually, delete the snippet you've selected, or even crossfade the transition between the clip and the rest of the song. Using this app, creating your own ringtone is easy and quick.
The first ringtone service was launched in Finland in 1998. The service, now known as Elisa, featured a device called Harmonium. The device contained tools for individuals to create monophonic ringtones, as well as a mechanism for delivering them over the air. A similar service was later launched by the Digitalphone Group in Japan in November 1998. However, this service was short-lived, and today's mobile phones can handle ringtones of all kinds.
