Here are some free utilities for composing ring tone cell phone music:

Nok2Phone - Input MIDI files, NokRing text, or RTTTL text, and it will spit out Ringtone text files, Nokia MIDI files, Nokring text, MonkeyTone PDB files, Ericson E-Melody files, or iMelody format. This program comes from RingTone City. *This program supports many different phone brands(motorola,ericsson,samsung,etc.), even though it's name implies only Nokia.

Nokring - RTTTL composer. It will send the ringing tone to your phone if you have a special cable to do so.

Nokia 3210 RingTone Converter - Input RTTTL or Nokring text files and it will spit out Nokia keypresses, 3210 Composer files, RTTTL, or Nokring text files.

Mid2RTTL - Command line utility that converts MIDI files into RTTTL format. It uses notes from channel 1 by default, all other notes are ignored.

You sometimes need MIDI file format zero to load a ring tone tune onto your cell phone. Music MasterWorks only saves in format 1(multi-track format - MM will read format 0 files but not save in format 0), but never fear: Here is a utility that will convert format 1 to format 0:

Here are the steps to use this utility (this is a DOS utility, so there is no easy GUI):

1. Un-zip the downloaded file.
2. Select 'Run...' from the Windows Start menu.
3. Select the 'Browse' button.
4. Find the directory where you unzipped the file and select 'MIDI1TO0.EXE'.
5. In the 'Open:' edit box, edit the text: after the '.exe' put a space, then the name of the file to convert, then another space, then the name of the output file. If the midi file to convert is in another directory than the EXE file, then you need to include the full path name before the file name. Hit OK, and it will convert it.
