While thinking about how much to charge, and how to sell and distribute, maybe give some creative thought to the issue of copying. While it would certainly be regrettable if people didn't pay you for your work, the truth is that some people aren't going to, and there's really no way to stop that (the Internet is the most efficient duplication and distribution mechanism ever devised, after all). So maybe think outside the box a bit - I don't have any particular suggestions, but selling ringtones for a device that doesn't require you to buy them might be a tough sell even among those who wouldn't make infringing copies of yours... however, there should be a good way to do it that works well for everyone, so give it some thought.

Just my two cents

I've already started to come up with a couple of ways to distribute things just here on the forums. more on that to come...

Loud, huh? I can do loud. any loud alert in particular that you're looking for?

Sound effects? Musical notes and chords of extreme volume? A frantic and sporadic loud, or a steady and consistent loud?

You need to be careful with ringtones like that... I almost got an exam room evacuated once with an air raid siren ringtone that I forgot to turn off.
also, @rushman: I can't really recommend this exact model (it's rather junky), but have you looked into something like this?
You can get watches that do the same thing (not sure about the vibe, though), but most are rather expensive due to being from big brand names.

Re: Ringtones & Alerts

I've been listening and tweaking the already loaded pack, "Fly By Night". I'm going to start a new thread with the tweaked Audio pack for free and post a new audio pack, "Heaven's Song". I'll explain how I plan on making this fair to me on the next thread. For those that gave feedback, thank you. It was very much appreciated.
