Cingular Teams Up with MySpace

Cingular Wireless is extending the ringtone market to emerging artists by teaming up with MySpace. The companies plan to offer unsigned artists on MySpace a chance to turn their original music into ringtones.

The Cingular Mobile Music Studio will enable bands featured on MySpace to create and market personalized wireless content. Artists will be able to upload a short track of an original song and InfoSpace will then convert the audio file into a ringtone.

The Mobile Music Studio offers incredible exposure for these emerging artists, who already have a MySpace following, by making it possible to have their original music turned into a ringtone and potentially have it played on the wireless handsets.

Music ringtones are expected to generate $600 million in sales in the U.S. this year, up from $500 million in 2005.
