Ring It On

Xingtone.com: Create Your Own Ring Tone

Nelly … 50 Cent … maybe a little “Hava Nagila” to mix it up?

Thanks but no thanks. When it comes to ring tones, there’s not much to choose from besides ’80s pop, classic TV-sitcom themes, and the hip-hop single du jour.

Unless you know about Xingtone.com. Just a quick download from the Website, and you can turn any MP3 or WAV file into your very own 30-second ring tone. From the Rolling Stones to Radiohead, your child’s voice to your cat’s meow or your best friend’s garage band, anything and everything is fair game. Best of all, the software amazingly converts instrumentals and vocals, so there’s no mistaking your personal anthem for really bad Muzak.

Go crazy. Whether it’s with the latest indie ingenue or your little sister’s rendition of “Happy Birthday,” now you can be truly original and maybe even surprise a few people.

Try doing that with the Seinfeld theme song.
