P2P ringtones

Brad Zutaut, president of Xingtone, is quoted in The New York Times saying: "Ring tones are not going to save the music industry. People have stopped paying $15 for albums. How are they going to start paying a dollar for a 30-second piece of bing-bing-bong?"

Zutaut believes what he says as he sells software that allows users to turn digital music files they already own into ring tones for their own cellphones for free, and share with others on Xingtones. The software currently suports Sprint PCS Vision enabled phones (Samsung, Sanyo, Hatichi, LG). Will this be the next ringtone Napster?
