  1. What is a MIDI file?

    MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It can be used to refer to the protocol, the interface and the file format. It was developed as a standard so musical instruments could talk to each other and so musical instruments could talk to computers. The protocol sends messages such as note on and note off. Because it is a list of instructions on how to generate sounds, a MIDI file is different from an audio file that actually includes the sounds. Thus, a MIDI file is much smaller than an audio file. A MIDI file is not based on visual notation, but on commands to turn notes on and off.

  2. How do I download ringtones?
    • Once you click on the song title, you will be taken to a download page.
    • Click the download link below the song title to begin your download.

    If you have further questions, send them to us.

  3. How do I play ringtones?

    Ringtones can easily be played in any audio playing application. For example, Windows Media Player, Winamp, QuickTime and RealPlayer are all viable options to hear ringtones.

  4. Do you post wav files?

    No, we do not. WAV files are considerably larger and we do not have the file space nor the bandwidth to allow users to download them.

  5. Can a MP3 file be converted into a MIDI file, and if so, how?

    Yes there are ways to convert MP3's to MIDI but it is a daunting task. Recently, we downloaded a trial version of a music converter software called "TS-AudioToMIDI." This software takes an MP3 and converts it to MIDI format, it is easy to use, but there are several options for you to use when converting the format. For example, you can convert the MP3 using a grand piano or acoustic guitar sound format. Its trial and error at first to see which sounds best and there are ways to change the settings of the conversion, once it is completed.

    Another way to do it is by downloading a program that converts MP3's to WAV files and then WAV files to MIDI. Its another option, but the time being I would try the software stated above.

  6. Do you have any song lyrics for these ringtones?

    A couple of years ago before the latest design and layout, MIDI Delight offered song lyrics for every ringtone on the site. But this became more of a burden than a pleasure when uploading new ringtones, because now we had to find the lyrics for the files too. The site is getting big now (in regards to the number of files we carry) and it is much easier to maintain without worrying about song lyrics.

  7. How do I add lyrics to a ringtone? What programm do I need?

    Here is a link that explains how to create ringtones with lyrics. They are called Karaoke files. Link: http://www.evillabs.sk/evillyrics/faq/faq1.php?faqnr=4

  8. Could these ringtones contain viruses?

    Absolutely not, aslong as the .mid extension is present, you are no threat to retrieve a virus.

  9. How do you add a ringtone to a website?

    You can add ringtone music to your web page by adding the following HTML tags to your site code. Place the following tag anywhere between the <BODY></BODY> tags:

    <EMBED SRC="yoursong.mid" WIDTH=144 HEIGHT=60 AUTOSTART="true" LOOP="false">

  10. What are those icons next to the songs names?

    • phone icon this ringtone is shorter in length and optimized for mobile phones.
    • sound icon this is a karaoke ringtone with lyrics.

  3. Jukebox Known Bugs

    The main issue is that there is no way to sync the playlist to the media player controls. Therefore, the pause, fast forward and stop buttons will not stop/change when the next song is played in the playlist. The playlist will continue regardless of the controls clicked. To stop the queue from continually playing, you should clear the playlist.

    • Pause Button - The pause buttons pauses the song but it doesn't stop the playlist from playing the next song.
    • Fast Forward Button - The ff button works but the playlist will still wait until the duration of the song to switch to the next song in the queue.

    We hope to straighten these bugs out in the next release. If you have any suggestions or answers to these bugs please send us feedback.
