iPhone ringtones

November 30th, 2008 § 1

Yeah I know, I keep crapping on about it. But it’s great!

Anyway, a mate in NZ popped up on twitter the other day saying that my Rockia ringtone (which is me playing the Nokia “Grand Valse” tune on my guitar) had taken his office by storm. Excellent, thought I. Wonder if there’s an easy way to make an iPhone version?

Turns out there is, so I did. And in addition to that I made a few new ones. Here they are, feel free to download any of them and use freely!

  • Rockia
  • Education – some Pink Floyd
  • Freak – the main riff from “Le Freak”, by Chic
  • Gadget – Inspector Gadget theme!
  • Lonesome – a blues riff, should work when looped
  • Phantom – an Iron Maiden riff, famous in the 80s for being the Lucozade song
  • Snooker – from the track “Drag Racer”, used for many years as the music for the snooker on UK telly
  • Spy chord – in G (for guitarists out there it’s spelled X-10-9-8-7-0)
  • Stairway – you should be able to guess what this is
  • Twice – the intro riff to my song “Twice As Bright”

And as a special bonus, and because it’s my favourite, here is Mr. Stephen Fry excerpted from his podgram entitled “Compliance Defiance”:

  • Fuckoff – “Tell them to FUCK OFF”

If that one doesn’t raise a smile, I don’t know what will. Just don’t let it go off in church.

One of my favourite things about the iPhone is that you keep discovering little extra things about the interface as you go along. It’s not things you wish you’d known and berate Apple for not pointing out before, it’s little extras, little things that are like the icing on lots of tiny gorgeous fairy cakes.

Just now I discovered, entirely by accident (I was cleaning the glass while listening to Phill & Phil’s podcast), that while the phone is locked and you’re listening to audio, you can double-press the main button to access the ipod controls – volume, next, previous, pause – without unlocking the main phone.

It’s just a nice little tweak, and it’s stuff like that which keeps me in love with the thing.
