“Sing-a-Ring"

Sunkissed Wireless, a store located on U.S 6 and County Line Road, in Indiana, "provides customers with a soundproof recording studio in which they can belt out a song, then carve out a small portion of it to use as their ringtone", reports the Post Tribune.

... "Aptly named “Sing-a-Ring,” customers can choose a song from a list of more than 14,500, said Mike Struppa, the man behind the concept. They then walk into the two-person studio, and a karaoke screen plays the music and scrolls the words to the song while the customer sings his or her heart out.

Once the customer is done recording, Struppa runs the track through proprietary software and works with the customer to decide which part of the song he or she wants as the ringtone. "
