Foster's Ringtone - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

CokboyDeluxeJr · 04-12-2007, 09:06 PM

Hello
I'm in search of the Foster's home theme song ringtone. I have come up empty in my searches thus far and I seek assistance. Can anyone aid me in my quest?
Thank you dear friends.

Basically, your phone needs to support polyphonic tones and needs to be WAP enabled.

I don't know much about ringtones, but I am trying to find out more...

Are you looking for a Midi, or a regular recording of the song? Does it need to be in a particular format? A specific length? Does it need to be on one of those sites that you download the ringtone from directly? I do have a Midi on my site, but I'm not sure that's what you want. I also have a link to the regular recording of the themesong (I think it might be an mp3).

I'm not really a phone expert, I only really know how to work my own SonyEricsson, but provided you have a new-ish phone that can interface with a PC, I would think that the either the MIDI or the MP3 on the main site, which frankie_fan just linked to, would do the trick.

Something to think about, though; I was using the MP3 of the theme song as my ringtone a few months back, and whilst it's cool, it's not actually that well suited to being a ringtone. The problem is that it has that lengthy section of quiet, discordant ambient noise at the beginning, and the main melody doesn't actually kick in for about 15 seconds, which means that a) unless you leave it ringing for ages, you won't ever get to hear the tune, and b) because of the quietness of the opening, you might not even hear it at all.

Since then, I've been using it as my morning alarm tone instead, and it works much better for that.

CokboyDeluxeJr, Owly: Uh...it's right there, guys...on the page frankie_fan linked to, in the middle of the page.

Here's the link, anyway, direct from composer Jim Venable's website: http://www.venablemusic.com/soundcli...-main-full.mp3

(The site's pretty interesting, too...I was able to use it to download a few tracks of the otherwise unobtainable Powerpuff Girls Movie score, which I was very glad of.

I did check out that page and found the song earlier but I don't know how to get the mp3 file from it. I tried to right click on the mouse and save it as a source but then it asked me to buy the Quicktime Pro. Is there another way to do it?

Using the theme song as the ringtone is such a cool idea

I could totally understand why it is not practical to use the whole song. I have a program that can edit music files and if someone can let me know where to get the mp3 file, I'll cut out the main melody and share it with anyone who is interested

Could record it from a video and set it as ringtone. I remember that's what we did in middle school.
