These differ from the real music in that they are not actual mp3 music files. Polyphonic tones incorporate digitally-encoded instrument tracks to digitally recreate the sound of a song, while the real music are actual clips of them.

The song may sound fuzzy at first, but once it is downloaded to your phone, it sounds fantastic. Whatever ringtone you decide make it funky and make it yours.
