You still can if you want to. My phone uses an MP3 for ringtone that I selected. It’s music that I wrote and recorded in my home studio even

Let’s not forget, you could also compose your own ringtones on those 😁. Well, that’s what I did 😂.

Meeh, it’s just not the same 😂. I miss the quirky score notation on those ancient things 😂.

I used to buy the songs that would play as my phone ringing. Like I’m not sure how to say it but when you called me you were forced to listen to a shitty song I liked instead of hearing the riiing riiing. Or when I called my weed guy instead of hearing the riiing or was 36 Mafia "where is the bud, where is the bud playing.

Can you do this on iPhone? For people who aren’t in your contacts?

He has iPhone. Idk how he still has that Mozart ringer (when you call him you hear Mozart). I didn’t know him back when that was popular

I believe they were called ringback tones. Those were neat.

The good ol days of asking Jeeves to find you tabs/sheet music.

Exactly! 😂
Or you just lay in bed at night and just try to properly edit the score notation to a song you really like, but it’s kinda niche, still all your friends know it, and then brag about it when you meet up “yo, check out my ringtone 😏” 😂.

A friend of mine had self-composed Darude - Sandstorm as his ringtone. Amazing shit
