Ring Tones
Since many of us are music lovers, I wouldn’t be surprised at how many have spent $1.99 or more on customized ring tones of their favorite songs. Cingular is now selling ring tones for bands found on My Space at $2.99 each, keeping 75% of the proceeds with the remaining 25% going to the band. I guess they’ve taken a cue from the RIAA on doing business.
I haven’t bought any ring tones yet and I don’t plan on giving the industry anymore money. Let’s see, they gouge me on the price of a CD or give me the privilege of paying $ .99 for one song on iTunes and willingly take another $1.99 or more from me again for a 30 second ring tone of a song I most likely already have paid for. How many times do they expect me to pay for the same bloody song? I’ve already paid for the same album three times: vinyl to cassette to CD and you know I paid more than $11.99 each time.
I won't buy ringtones. I find them annoying. And for what they charge for them, it's really not worth it.
ReplyDeleteI gave my brand new cell phone to my son last year because my favorite song wasn't available as a ringtone for it, and I had it on my old phone. Long live my Nokia 3390!
ReplyDeleteLady Starlight, you're funny and a bit of a nut! ;-) See, it pays to be a cheapskate sometimes. LOL
