• WORK WITH RTTTL RINGING TONE FILES
Ringing Tones Text Transfer Language (RTTTL) files are text files that
contain various types of information that make up a ringing tone. When
your phone receives a ringing tone over the air, your phone is actually
receiving the information in RTTTL format. The RTTTL file includes song
title, scale and tempo indications, and the actual note information.
An RTTTL formatted ringing tone may appear as follows:
Use RTTTL data from the Internet
The Internet has become a popular source for sharing ringing tones in
RTTTL format. If you find a ringing tone Web site displaying the RTTTL
data, you can create your own RTTTL files by pasting the data into
Notepad, then save it using the .txt file extension.
PC Composer can open (and save) ringing tones in RTTTL format. Songs
you compose in PC Composer can be saved as RTTTL files, then shared with
family and friends via e-mail (for example).
