• a certain Monty Python song in ringtone format, because I'm whimsical

Things I want for me:

• Less headache
• More sleep

What format of ringtones does your phone play?

I can probably get/already have the Imperial March in common formats, and if it'll play waveform audio (ie, MP3/AAC/WAV), then I've provide you with probably everything you're looking for.

Well, all three audio files - you'll have to provide the sleep et al yourself. :o)

My phone needs a data cable and s0ftw4r3 to talk to a computer, or else I would need to download stuff from the phone's web browser, which is something I'm wary of, especially given the experience that tygerr's idiot teenage sons had.

I've got the Imperial March myself, as well as the applicable Monty Python song.

Out telco has started charging for GRPS traffic, the gits. Otherwise we had free phone-internet.

I have the Imperial March as a MIDI file somewhere, so if your phone only does beeping ringtones that'll work. I used to actually use it on my Nokia 3310...

I have Dark Side Of The Moon, as MP3s, so if your phone can play waveform audio you can convert that.

What kind of phone is it, anyway?

I've got one of the greyscale Kyocera Phantom models. I have an older model too, that was my roommate's, but that's inactive.

I think I'm hungry. Hmm.

Ringtones are polyphonic MIDIs, then. We should have a CD full of those that we got for E's Sony-Ericsson T610 (which doesn't have MP3 support like my K700i does).

I don't know anything about that make/model of phone, though, so I don't know how well it'll play with a data cable. US cell phone providers tend to prefer phones that they can control - to the extent of having the manufacturer cripple the firmware in some cases. Famously, one of the companies refuses to carry any phone with bluetooth until they could figure out how to charge for bluetooth data transfer (I think someone finally beat some sense into that company, though).

The manufacturer/provider offers a data cable over which ringtones, in theory, can be yoinked, as well as address book data.

I'm planning on looking into this, because I like the synchronize feature for my tech. That, and a car charger.

I just got the album on CD, and ripped it to .mp3, so I'm very happy now.
