In yesterday’s press event, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced that the iTunes store will now sell pre-cut ringtones for $1.29. This is a big improvement on the old Apple model of paying for the song twice - the second time for the privilege of editing your own ringtone. Of course the 25,000+ users of Sharetones by DJ Nitrogen have found an easier and less expensive way to get custom ringtones from their music. With over 80,000 ringtone recipes in the Sharetones library, users have plenty of free choices without the need to edit their own.

Some of you have heard that DJ Nitrogen is giving away free evaluation copies of our very cool Ringtone Lab for the iPhone. But you have to know where to look - or be a reader of this blog because it’s rather hidden at DJ Nitrogen. Click here for Free iPhone Ringtones and download the Ringtone Lab. This free version only works with the iPhone and it won’t be free forever, so get it now and sync all the free iPhone ringtones you’d like. Consider it a perk for owning a very cool phone. It’s fast, easy, and as we said, free. Don’t bother with all that “Here’s how to get free ringtones using iTunes” stuff. You know, like “Go to the “Options” tab, then find the “Start Time” and “Stop Time” check boxes to set your length… Right-click on your “ringtone length” song and choose “Convert Selection to AAC” plus four or five other steps.

Skip all those steps - just get the Ringtone Lab for the iPhone while it’s still free.

The Copyright Royalty Board ruled to keep royalties on CDs, downloads, online streaming services and ringtones broadly unchanged, imposing a “truce” between music labels, songwriters and digital music services such as Apple’s iTunes store.

Unlikely they’ll do so but it makes for a juicy threat.

Recent users of the DJ Nitrogen Ringtone Lab are more likely to be sync’ing their ringtones to an iPhone than to any other phone on the market. They also create and share the most ringtones. “iPhone users appear to be very happy with our Ringtone Lab for the iPhone,” says DJ Nitrogen CEO Chris Sindoni. “Our top users have each created over 30 ringtone recipes just in the last week, which indicates they like the easy sync through iTunes.”

The Ringtone Lab is fully 3G and 2.0 compatible. It’s free to download and try, works in any country and still features an introductory price of only $9.99.
