Ring tones jump from PCs to CDs

In a first for the cell phone ring tone industry, a record label is now including on some albums software to assemble digital recordings into custom tones, according to News.com.

"Once loaded onto someone's personal computer, the ring tone assembly software works with the tracks on "Palm Trees and Power Lines," the latest album from Artemis Records artist Sugarcult.

People who want to use the software to turn any recording on the computer into a ring tone must first pay $15 for the full software, supplied by Xingtone. Xingtone and Artemis split the revenue. Until now, the only way to get Xingtone software was through a Web download."
