The Ringle: A combo of singles and ringtones delivered on CD

CD-Blank.gif Coming this fall from the major labels: the “ringle” —explained by Billboard as a combo of singles and ringtones delivered on CD for suggested retail of $5.98-6.98. Moco News reports.

"Each ringle would come with three songs and one ringtone.

According to Billboard’s sources, the idea comes from Sony BMG but has been approved by the RIAA; there’s even an industry logo.

Sony BMG is slated to release 50 titles in October and November; UMG will have 10-20."
