Free MP3 Ringtones

Dear Reader,

Google is amazing.

That's a short way of saying that Google is able to trawl the Internet for many things, stored on computer servers. In today's instalment, we look at how Google is able to search for MP3/Midi ringtones.

The following URL will do the job:
http://www.google.com.my/search?q=-inurl%3Ahtm+-inurl%3Ahtml+intitle......

But you can get to the same page by clicking HERE.

Let's see... I got this idea off of Tech-Recipe.com... Not really my cup of tea, but it's OK. Admittedly, not every hit is an MP3 ringtone page. But it's workable.

Just as you've seen, you can tailor the search terms to suit what you seek. Google is capable of coughing up (or should I replace that with "enthusiastically hounding out"?) otherwise hidden gems: 3gp MMS clips, video files, PDF files, ZIP archives et al.

Hopefully, your mobile phone is capable of supporting MP3 ringtones.

Another thing about MP3 ringtones -- 128kbps is the rate for acceptable CD burning. 160 kbps on the other hand is the rate equivalent to CD quality. But since you're hard pressed for storage space, and you're not exactly listening to the music as a connoiseur... and you wish to store as many MP3 ringtones on your 10mb limited mobile phone... I'd say either reduce the quality to 64kbps or go for those with 64kbps. The size of the MP3 file would drop significantly. (Or you could go for 96kbps, if you're "kiasu" enough -- trying to strike a balance btw 64kbps and 128kbps.)

That is all for now.
