Beyoncé Ringtones -- Where to Get them
Naturally, the best-selling Beyoncé ringtones today are based on these same songs. Typically, you'll find ringtones available for anywhere from $0.99 to $3.99, depending on where you look. Apple's iTunes offers ringtones at $0.99 for iPhones only, while Wal-mart has special ringtone offers priced at $1.99 (text the letters WMT to 40888 on your mobile phone to check out Wal-mart's latest specials). Other vendors such as Jamster, PlayPhone and Thumbplay usually price their ringtones slightly higher, usually $2.99 to $3.99 for high quality music ringtones. Which brings up a good point: if you're a real music fan, you want music tones, sometimes called real tones or truetones. These are ringtones taken from the original digital recordings of the songs. Polyphonic ringtones, on the other hand, are lower cost but far lesser quality. They are "MIDI" tones that deliver poor sounding audio hardly recognizable as the song you want. Steer clear if your phone can handle truetones!

How to Get Free Ringtones
Note: I do not endorse theft of intellectual property! Do not do this if it breaks laws in your country!

While everyone wants free ringtones, they are usually hard to find unless you have a friend in the music business. Plus, it's typically illegal to copy or transfer ringtones to your phone. However, there are ways to make free ringtones if you know where to go. While I do not endorse using it, the most popular site for creating your own free ringtones from MP3 files and CDs is at www.mytinyphone.com. (I am not affiliated with is site in any way--it's in Estonia, for gosh sakes!) Last I checked, this site was still running. That may not last forever, though. Use the site at your own risk and with the full knowledge that copyright laws vary from country to country, and you may be breaking laws by doing so. Anyway, that's the secret.

Beyoncé: Brief Biography
Beyoncé Knowles is an American R&B singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, dancer, music video director, and fashion designer. Beyoncé was the creative force and lead singer of the R&B girl group Destiny's Child, the world's best-selling female group in history.

After completing several successful releases with the Destiny's Child, Beyoncé released her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love, in June 2003. This album became one of the year's most successful albums, topping the Billboard charts. Included were the number-one singles "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy," and Beyoncé earned five Grammy Awards in 2004. Beyoncé's second album, B'Day, was released worldwide in 2006 on her twenty-fifth birthday, and drove her success to even further heights. B'Day included the UK number-one singles "Déjà Vu" and "Beautiful Liar", as well as the worldwide chart-topper "Irreplaceable". It also earned Beyoncé her seventh solo Grammy Award, and 10th Grammy in all.

In December, 2007 Beyoncé will begin work on her 3rd studio album tentatively titled "Bumble Bee," and it is scheduled for a summer 2008 release.
