MAGIX ANNOUNCES RINGTONE MAKER 2
FREE RINGTONES FOR CELL PHONES
Create Video, Real Music, & Polyphonic Ringtones,
Cell Phone Logos and Wallpaper
Express Your Personal Style with Unlimited Ringtones — No Subscription or Download Fees
March 20, 2006, Miami, FL — MAGIX, the worldwide leader in music and video editing software1, announced today MAGIX Ringtone Maker 2, which lets consumers personalize their cell phones by creating their own ringtones from music and video hits without paying any subscription or download fees. MAGIX Ringtone Maker 2 lets you create as many ringtones as you like on your PC for a one-time price of just $19.99; and then transfers them to your cell phone as a realtone or polyphonic ringtone. The software also transmits cool video ringtones, cell phone logos, and wallpaper, which will make your cell phone the center of attention every time it rings.
See Who’s Calling Before You Pick Up
Cell phones now do much more than just ring. When a cell phone receives a call, it can now light up with multimedia fireworks and even play videos. MAGIX Ringtone Maker 2 goes a step further, by allowing consumers to create their own personalized or downloaded photos, video, or sound and music as ringtones, which can then be sent to your cell phone in just two clicks.
World’s First Video Selector
Included in MAGIX Ringtone Maker 2 is the world’s first MAGIX Video Selector, which manages, edits, and assigns video to appear with specific friends and family (compatible on smartphones using the Symbian 60/90 operating system). This way, you actually “see” who is calling before you pick up. You can also export free wallpaper and logos, so you’ll never get bored with your phone’s display. And with the new Title Editor, you can add text to your photos to create unique backgrounds and greeting cards in just a few seconds.
MAGIX Ringtone Maker 2’s new polyphonic tones are even compatible with older cell phone models. Simply download your favorite track from the Internet as a MIDI file, convert it and transfer it to your cell phone. If you don’t want to search for songs online, you can always use one of the many MIDI files supplied for free with MAGIX Ringtone Maker 2.
