Is mp3 Ringtone Maker legal?

[Stryker395]

I searched this out and couldn't find a decent answer. It seems that it might search public domains and download the song to your phone where you can then edit it and set as a ringtone. It just seemed a little shady to me that you could download an entire song.

Should I be concerned that the riaa or whoever would say that I'm doing something illegal? I certainly have no intention of downloading full free songs to listen to. I just want ringtones.

If it's illegal why is it on google play? Thanks

Good question. I'd like to know the answer too.

"Ringtone Maker is free app creates ringtone, alarms, and notifications from MP3, WAV,AAC/MP4, 3GPP/AMR files you load onto your phone through the SD card or that you purchase through the Amazon MP3 store."

Ringtone Maker will handle MP3s etc on your phone. How you get them onto your phone is where the RIAA would be interested in speaking with you.

So, anything you purchase(d) or currently have is reasonable to use with this product as long as it is for personal and non-commercial usage.

Hello Stryker and welcome to our humble community.

Who is the developer of this app? I tried to look at it, but I find so many other different ones I don't know which one.

True. Or you could just use Audacity and not worry about it.

If you do use Audacity - don't forget to download the codec.

Another alternative is RingDroid Open-source goodness!
