"My Old Kentucky Home" ringtone Why a ringtone? This ringtone was created in response to someone who wanted to add a ringtone that would play "My Old Kentucky Home," our state song, by the great American composer Stephen Collins Foster. My search came up empty-handed too, so I set about correcting this musical oversight by creating my own ringtone. How it was created. This ringtone was created with Nokia Ringing Tone Composer. The tone is based on a copy of the sheet music I already had in my collection of MOKH memorabilia. The tone was created in the RTTTL format and then converted to Nokia binary code using the Uniring converter, a necessary step in order to send the tone to my phone (a Nokia 5165). This converter will also convert the tone for use with most other cellular phones. "My Old Kentucky Home" by Stephen Collins Foster Ringtone by Jim Brooks RTTTL Format: okh:d=4,o=5,b=140:8b,b,b,g,8a,8b,8c.6,16b,8c6,8e6,8d6,8p,16c6,16c6,8b,8a,8p,8g,8g,f#,8g,a,8p INSTRUCTIONS: If you have a Nokia 5165 like I do you will need to convert the tone to the proper Nokia Binary format. To do this, you can visit the Ringtone Nation site to use the Uniring converter. Uniring will convert the RTTTL code to whatever format you need -- Nokia Binary or most other cell phone ringtone formats. You will need to highlight the text above (beginning with "okh" and ending with "8p"), copy it and paste it into the converter window on the Ringtone Nation. Web site. You must select the proper format for your cellphone for the correct conversion. You can then e-mail it to your cellphone from the Uniring converter Web site. If you haven't done this before, find someone who knows what they are doing or ask your cellphone provider. Most cellphones can receive e-mail even if you aren't signed up for the extra-cost e-mail option (my Cellular One Nokia can receive messages for free, but can't send them without paying extra). The converted ringtone will be recognized by your phone when it is received (if it is turned on, that is). On my Nokia, I had the option of listening to it and then saving it or discarding it. If you have questions about it, try reading the Ringtone FAQ which is a fantastic resource. All of this may sound difficult, but it isn't. If I can help, drop me a line. Good luck!
