   Ringtones are digital files that let you customize the sound your phone makes when you receive a call.
   
2. What is the difference between Music Tones and Ringtones?
   Ringtones is used to refer to polyphonic ringtones. Polyphonic ringtones play a programmed version of a song through a small synthesizer chip on your phone to get the various instrument sounds. They mimic multiple instruments in the song to produce a semi-realistic representation of the song.
   
   Music Tones is used to refer to master music tones. Master tones are an exciting new ringtone format for some mobile phone models. They allow a clip or sample of the actual recording of a song to be played as an alert or ring on your phone!
