As others on SPT have said, these aren't great ringtones. Good thing they're free, cause I definitely wouldn't pay for these.

Though I liked the Blues, but they have encoded them @ 20 kbps(!). They should have encoded them at atleast 64 kbps to get crisp sound through the speakers
As osukid said, no one on this earth would pay for 'such' ring-tones

Blyeech. These would make me sound like the kind of person I don't like.
I need something that sounds like a ring, or an alert of some sort, so I don't just think I've accidentally started WMP in my pocket.
I also have a hard time ever hearing or sometimes even feeling my phone go off. I suppose that's better than those people in the library or on the train who let their phone go through three full choruses of Scotland the Brave or Eine Kleine Nachtmusik before bothering to answer it or clueing in and saying "Oh, that's me!"
Er, end of rant.

Hey WMP does not sound that bad. Just put them(ringtones) in your pocket pc(or PPCPE) and you will realise that how 'bad' they sound. MS should have properly encoded them at good bitrate
edit....And yes, I had a yearning for professional ringtones from MS. What's this ??
edit 2: Why is the person smiling in the image above ?? :wink:

Remember back in the early days when Microsoft gave us games and CDs full of stuff? I think the market is still tentative and new enough that sweetening the deal with ongoing injections of loot would help.

Two thoughts come to mind:
1) When I hear "ringtones from Microsoft," I think of catchy gingles with messages like "Bill is God. All worship Bill." or "Say no to Linux. Say yes to Windows. Say no to Palm. Say yes to Windows. Say no to Mac. Say yes to Windows."
2) I'm surprised someone hasn't come up with a creative way to allow people to set mini-ads as their ringtones and pay them for every incoming call, since the mini-ads will be played for the cell phone owner and everyone nearby to hear.

WTF are ringtones? 8)
When someone calls me I hear the Andromeda Ascendant clearly saying "All hands, incoming message". (but then I am a geek/sci-fi type)
Using real sounds is way better than crappy midi wanna-be music.
