As I was waiting for my son to be dismissed from school today, I waded into the Get It Now tunes library offered by Verizon Wireless, hoping to find a She Called Up ringtone (no such luck). Stumbled upon Bic Runga's Sway, much to my amazement. Then...to my further amazement, nay shock, I found Couldn't Be Done and So Precious .

I really hope Tim gets a cut everytime someone calls...

Lucky, T-Mobile doesn't have anything in the way of Finn-related ringtones. Oh well, I believe the phone I have is one where you can create your own ringtone, so this way I can pick exactly the song I want to use.

I'll move this to Original Creations, since it'll probably be more at home there.

I have She Called Up as a ringtone on my phone! Its an awesome ringtone. My phone connects to the computer so I can just put the music from the CD onto the phone and use it as a ringtone.

I thought I'd have that option when I got my new phone in the Spring. However, Verizon seems to be a rather draconian carrier and will not permit one to download any tones other than what they offer .

I was just happy at that point that they had Don't Stop Now available. Much happier now with Tim as my ringer .

Do you have special software Langkawi13? or a special phone connection?

And can I ask what brand of phone you have?

I'd love a decent ringtone - Six Months as I was discussing in a PM with Devil - but don't know how to go about it without getting ripped off. This sounds like a great option.

Hope its legal...???

I have an up-to-date Nokia.

Um, I have a Nokia 6280 and my sister has a 6233 and they both came with a Nokia PC Suite program thing on a CD that I installed onto the computer. The phone stores music files and so I put She Called Up (and a few other songs) on it through this program, took me a while to figure out because the instructions were not to clear, it came with a usb cable that connected the phone to the computer but it also has the option of using blue-tooth to connect the phone to the computer. All the stuff I needed to do this came with the phone with I got it. And when I figured it out I just dragged the songs from iTunes to the phone and they have been there ever since then.

I dont know if that helped at all, sorry.

That did help Lang, thanks

I'll check the stuff which I got with my phone, but will call into the shop where I got it if I'm missing any important bits.

If your phone and computer have bluetooth, you can also transfer files that way. You can get a bluetooth dongle for your computer prety much anywhere, I guess...my mac has it inbuilt though so do check. I use songs as ringtones but chop them down to 30 seconds on garageband or Audacity before putting them on my phone as I have very little storage room...got a few Finn related ones, Par of Me Part Of You for when my parents call, Message To My Girl when my boyfriend calls and Recurring Dream for most everyone else

That's brilliant, having the different tunes for different people. Like I'd be able to work out how to do that

I've checked the box which my phone came in and I don't have any extra connections. I'll drop by the shop and ask them. Its probably worth a bit of extra expense.

Sorry this is isn't an Original Creation but you can buy "official" CH ring tones through the record company website www.crowdedhouse.com if you just click on Mobile in the menu.

I haven't tried it myself so I don't know if it applies to all phones or countries. Good Luck!

looks to me like it only works in the UK...which is kinda sad, otherwise I would have all kinds of lovely Finn ringtones! I can always use mp3's of their songs as ringtones if I want though.

I have Part of Me Part of You as the ringtone when my parents or siblngs ring me too! I love being able to put all these different songs on my phone... At the moment I only have it set to two diffeent ringtones but it is awesome!
