Students from Melbourne`s RMIT enrolled for the Music Industry semester have created a series of free ringtones as part of a school project.
“The project is representative of the way this program has responded to the rapid transformations in the music industry over the last few years,” Barry Hill, acting Program Director said in a statement.“Ring tones sales and subscriptions now account for more than 10 per cent of global music sales and it`s a market that`s growing dramatically each year - tunes that started out as ring tones are now topping mainstream pop charts.
“Downloadable digital music formats present exciting new revenue and marketing opportunities for musicians, who no longer need to rely on the old formula for success of playing gigs, building a fanbase and securing a record deal with a major label to succeed in their artistic endeavours.”
The free ringtone downloads are available here
