MP3 Ringtones Launched - Press Release

Well, we finally got to the starting gate. Here is the Press Release which is due to be released tomorrow - you could have heard it here first!

Download2MP3 Launch Ringtones of Taste and Distinction

A collection of 32 Classical and 16 Ragtime MP3 Ringtones have been launched today at Download2MP3.com - they are comprised of phrases selected from the original percussion arrangements already published there.

The selections have been re-recorded in mono to reflect their application in mobile phones and their use as ring tones. Streaming technology allows these industry standard MP3 files to be heard freely and in full online before they are purchased.

Percussion instruments sometimes emphasise insistent tones to gain prompt attention, while other selections build to a crescendo. Yet others such as the Stoptime Rag by Scott Joplin include pregnant pauses. If you prefer a less intrusive signal then the rippling harp and drums in Faure's Apres un Reve may be just what you need. These Distinctive Ringtones can help you personalize your mobile phone in a tasteful and unobtrusive manner.

But in each case the unique instrumentation used in these arrangements means that the ring from your mobile phone will be instantly recognizable - that is unless you tell your friends that it came from www.Download2MP3.com.

Adding to the collection or ...

There are more opportunities to add to this collection but we think that it is now time to make some additional payment options available. For low cost items, credit card transactions are rather expensive so we will need to trade the benefits to us of larger orders against a premium for individual track purchases. This means adding shopping cart facilities along side the simple BitPass functionality and is going to be a bit of a programming challenge. More of this anon - in the mean time here is another Brandenburg Concerto LoFi streaming sample - first movement of No3 from Johann Sebastian Bach himself and our arrangement on steel drums and marimba - full HiFi track only 0.99$(US).

Shop Re-opens

The PHP upgrade on my server precipitated closure of the shop for a couple of weeks but I finally found the time to work through the backlog of OS Commerce upgrades that I had been putting off and Lo and Behold the shop is working again. I still need to do a bit of testing on the shopping cart arithmetic and make sure that the downloading is still working properly after the changes I have made. I'll also have a look at the recent contributions to see if there are any other improvements I should be making. In the mean time there has been another surge of Ranking changes on Google as reported on Rankpulse and it is evident that our rankings continue to swing around on a daily basis but our overall position and visitor numbers seem pretty stable - even the shop closure didn't seem to have much of an impact.

The Mobile Update

Wow - good job it was a long weekend so that I could complete the Mobile website update. The software I have been using to design and build the site is not really geared up for even medium sized sites like this one and there is a lot of copy and pasting involved followed by quite a bit of correction especially of download links. On the other hand the graphic design functionality is brilliant and it has been a lot easier to produce a consistently high quality visual image. However the internet does provide some very prompt feedback and Android is now the pre-eminent operating system used by site visitors for the first time.  Some of the download file sizes may be a bit big for some mobile users and we might need to restore file sizes for the mobile version. There are undoubtedly outstanding issues to resolve but I'll get to those in due course. I have taken the opportunity to update some of the text but the basic structure of the site has been retained there is just a mobile...
