Want a cool download? You can freely download MIT’s HyperScore music generation software. It’s pretty cool and if you are somewhat musically challenged, you can do it by ear! Once you create your masterpiece, you can send it to someone else, download it as a ring tone for your phone, or just save it.

One limitation is that your ability to download the ring tone will depend upon your carrier. When I messed with it today, there were only two carriers, Cingular and Verizon (not AT&T) that you could download to. Since I have Sprint as my carrier, I was unable to test that feature. I did create a short little ring tone of about 10 seconds and emailed it to myself, so that part of it works fine.

This is fun software if you want to be creative and not think it is your phone ringing when it is actually someone else’s with the same song (it happens to me at airports all the time).
