Myxer Review

Myxer is a site where you can download ringtones, wallpapers, videos, and games to your cell phone.  The really neat thing about the site, though, is that you can make your own ringtones and wallpapers from music and pictures on your computer and share them with others if you like..  The web site is free, and most phones are supported.

For ringtones, upload the music file onto Myxer (most file types are supported except for those bought from iTunes or those protected by digital rights management).  You will then be able to adjust the exact length of the ringtone and the exact starting point within the song.  This can be accomplished using either a sliding bar or by entering the exact times (see photo).  You can adjust the times down to the hundredth of a second, so you can really get the exact part of the song you want.  You can also adjust the volume of the ringtone and add fade in and/or fade out.  When you're finished, you can save the ringtone or send it to your cell phone.

For wallpapers, upload the desired picture file onto Myxer (most file types are supported).  You can then either use the entire picture or part of the picture.  When you sign up for the site, you enter the make and model of your phone, so the site knows the screen size of your phone, and will show it to you during the editing process in the form of an editing box within the picture.  When you're finished, you can save the wallpaper for later or send it to your phone.

Like I mentioned earlier, the site is free to use.  The only charges you might incur are those from your cellular service provider.  When you send a ringtone or wallpaper to you phone, the site sends you a text message with a link for downloading the file, so be aware of that beforehand.  The file you download should be very small, so the charge for Internet usage should be very small.

Myxer is great site that's fun and free.  I encourage you to use your creativity and try it.
