Where to download ringtones
Audiko is a fantastic site for ringtones.
Free for all
You can create a ringtone of your favourite song in just a few easy steps – for free! Just upload the song, choose the section you want to use and download the ringtone to your phone. I think this way is better, as you know you own the songs you’re creating the ringtone from.
But, if you can’t be blowed doing that, then they also have heaps and heaps of ringtones ready to go.
You can:
- View top 100 popular ringtones
- See what YouTube ringtone videos are available
- Search the database for artists, by genre, tv shows etc
- See a list of similar artists
There’s even support for lots of older mobile phones. AND iPhones (save your newly created ringtone as a .M4R)!
Easy as 1-2-3
Just select and download a ringtone to your desktop (for syncing or bluetooth transfer). Or if your phone supports barcodes, then you can just transfer it using the QR/barcode application.
The best part about free ringtones is that when your favourite song changes (like happens every few days? weeks? months?), you don’t have to keep shelling out cash to buy your new favourite song as a ringtone. 
Enjoy!
