New desktop application empowers iPhone users to make and – for the first time – legally share ringtones. Now available to U.K. iPhone users, the Ringtone Lab is only £4.99 for unlimited iPhone ringtones.

San Francisco, CA – DJ Nitrogen announces the official release of the new Ringtone Lab for the iPhone, specifically designed to meet the ringtone needs of iPhone users. The Ringtone Lab is one of the most advanced ringtone editors available and is the only product that lets users legally share iPhone ringtones with other users. Ringtones easily sync to the iPhone via iTunes, with no hacks or modifications required. Powered by DJ Nitrogen's patent-pending mobile content collaboration platform, this new Ringtone Lab for the iPhone works in any country and with any recent version of iTunes. It’s compatible with the 3G iPhone expected this summer.

The Ringtone Lab is free to try and only £4.99 to activate, delivering unlimited ringtones for the cost of one iTunes album.

As with all DJ Nitrogen products, the Ringtone Lab for the iPhone lets the user make ringtones and save the “ringtone recipes” for any MP3 songs on the user's computer. The ringtone recipe is the data that defines the ringtone – start, stop, fade, etc. A user can browse, share and build upon ringtone recipes created by other members of the DJ Nitrogen community, but only for songs that the user already owns - thus respecting artists' copyrights. Users never share actual audio files, only the “ringtone recipes.” The ability to share ringtone recipes gives users access to a wide and growing library of ringtones for the music they love, with multiple ringtone recipes available for the most popular songs. And with the Easy-to-Expert editor, novices and audiophiles alike can have cool iPhone ringtones.

“We are excited to be launching this version of the Ringtone Lab exclusively for the iPhone. iPhone users will no longer be limited to buying ringtones through iTunes, and our recipe-sharing technology means they can legally share their iPhone ringtones with any DJ Nitrogen user, even users of our private-labeled non-iPhone products,” says Chris Sindoni, DJ Nitrogen CEO.

Like DJ Nitrogen's flagship Ringtone Lab, this new Ringtone Lab for the iPhone can be distributed by affiliate partners under the “Powered by DJ Nitrogen” program.

About DJ Nitrogen:
San Francisco based DJ Nitrogen's mobile content collaboration platform is an industry-first legal way for consumers to share the copyrighted media they send to their mobile phones.  The company has several patents pending for the technology that powers its platform, including the “recipe sharing” technology. The Ringtone Lab and its private label counterparts are the first products to launch from the platform. CEO Sindoni and the development team are veterans of large consumer Internet brands and start-ups. Visit www.djnitrogen.com for more information and to download a Ringtone Lab product.

Southaven, MS./ San Francisco, CA. Zoomoozik.com, the world’s first all-digital music label, announces ZooTones, a new desktop ringtone application that empowers fans to make MP3 ringtones from their favorite Zoomoozik artists' songs, and to legally share their creations with other fans who own the same songs - a first in the industry.

ZooTones lets fans of Zoomoozik artists create ringtones and save the "ringtone recipes" for any MP3 format songs on the user's computer.

ZooTones

“We searched the web to find the ultimate customized ringtone product for our customers, and the DJ Nitrogen platform provided the best choice," says Michael Sharf, Zoomoozik’s CEO. "Their full-service solution lets us focus on what we do best, while meeting our customers' mobile needs and ultimately putting more money into the artists’ hands."

A new user's first ringtone is free, and if a ZooTones user creates a ringtone from a published MP3 that doesn't yet have a ZooTones ringtone recipe, he/she will get that ringtone for free as well. Beyond these free opportunities, users can select from three pricing models including two convenient monthly plans.
"We are thrilled to be providing the ringtone solution for Zoomoozik," says Chris Sindoni, DJ Nitrogen CEO. "Their fervor for assisting the unsigned artist is ideal for our innovative technology that respects both artists and their fans."

We are all excited at Zoomoozik to be a part of this revolution and help develop the technology and the platform that will drive the future of the music industry.  DJ Nitrogen will help us offer ringtone technology that serves the artist most efficiently,” states Rory Rogers, Director of A&R at Zoomoozik.com.

DJ Nitrogen Launches Public Beta for New Collaborative Ringtone Application
The balance of power has swung from the record labels to consumers

Download at www.djnitrogen.com

San Francisco, CA - DJ Nitrogen, developer of mobile content collaboration platforms, announces the Public Beta release of its collaborative MP3 ringtone editor. It allows users to create ringtones from any MP3 songs on their computers and send them directly to their mobile phones. Plus, users can legally share and collaborate with others in the DJ Nitrogen community, a first in the industry. DJ Nitrogen works with all major U.S. carriers: Verizon Wireless, AT&T/Cingular, T-Mobile, Sprint and Cellular One.

Far from being just another ringtone outlet, DJ Nitrogen marks a major change in control over the music a consumer has purchased. DJ Nitrogen puts users in control and lets them conveniently manage MP3 ringtone creation and selection right on their desktops. Users' choices will no longer be limited to expensive selections available from the record labels or major wireless carriers, nor will they have to wade through numerous third party sites, often with disappointing results or rife with violations of copyright laws.

"We don't see this as just another ringtone service," says Chris Sindoni, DJ Nitrogen CEO. "This changes everything -- it's the new standard for ringtone delivery. DJ Nitrogen provides a premium service at a lower price point, putting users in control of the music they've purchased. It's the first truly collaborative platform."

The small application is easy to download and install -- ringtones are just a few clicks away. DJ Nitrogen lets the user create ringtones and save the "ringtone recipes" for any MP3 format songs on the user's computer. The user can access (and build upon) recipes created by other members of the DJ Nitrogen community, but only for songs that the user owns. As the DJ Nitrogen community grows, users will have access to the widest ringtone library available, with multiple ringtone recipes for the most popular songs.

A new user's first ringtone is always free. During the Public Beta the first user to create a ringtone from any particular published MP3 gets that ringtone for free also. Beyond these free opportunities, users can select from three pricing models: Individual ringtones can be purchased for $1.50 each or by one of two monthly plans: The Value Plan is $3.99 per month for the first five ringtones, $0.99 each for every ringtone after the first five. The Ultimate DJ Plan is $9.99 per month for the first 15 ringtones, $0.59 each for every ringtone after the first 15. Billing is handled through the carriers and shows up on the user's monthly statement, so no additional credit card information is needed.

Ringtones fall under the compulsory license provision of the U.S. copyright law allowing a user to make a ringtone for him/herself, but only if that user already owns the music from which the ringtone is extracted. DJ Nitrogen gives users this power without having to upload their MP3s to third-party sites or pay up front for editing software. Members of the DJ Nitrogen community never have access to each other's audio files, only to the ringtone recipes.

About DJ Nitrogen:

DJ Nitrogen was founded in San Francisco in 2005. CEO Chris Sindoni and the development team are veterans of large consumer Internet brands and start-ups. The company has several patents pending for the technology that powers its platform, including the "recipe sharing" technology. The ringtone editor is the first product to launch from this platform.
