Who is the person behind this page?
Is there a need for a FAQ page?

What phone models are the ringtones for?
Panasonic, well if you didn't notice, the main page says 'Welcome to Panasonic Ringtone 101', so if the page is meant for let's say Nokia, why would I put in the word Panasonic?

Why a page on Panasonic ringtone?
Other than the fact that I own a Panasonic and have nothing better to do? Well, there's hardly any ringtone site for Panasonic so I ended up creating my own ringtones and as the list grows, I thought what the heck, I might as well post this up somewhere and thus the page is born. Neah, actually I work for Panasonic to help them increase their phone sales! :Þ

I'm using a Nokia/Samsung/fill-in-the-blank/Motorola phone, will the ringtones here work on my phone?
'Fraid not, since this is a Panasonic site. There is a webconverter on the page though (contributed by Patrick) that will convert any Panasonic ringtones into Nokia keypress and vice versa. If it doesn't work for you, I can only say too bad. I'm not a programmer so I don't know how to fix the script and since it was created by someone who decided to help me on his own, I don't like to bug him to help me fix it everytime some complains about it. If you wanna use the ringtones here badly, you can either switch phone, convert them manually or find some other alternatives I guess.

I'm not using a Panasonic phone and I really want to use the ringtone here, what should I do?
Switch to Panasonic? :Þ Seriously, there's an instruction page that explains each keypress, so you can do the conversion manually. It may be more work, but it does the job. Alternately, go buy one of those ringtone converting software found online but then you may not need to use the ringtones found on this page anymore.

Why don't you add in the keypress for Nokia/Samsung/fill-in-the-blank/Motorola as well? I'm sure you'll get more visitors this way.
Cos converting ringtone is a pain. As it is now, I have to convert the original (GD92) keypress into 3 other versions (GD88,GD55 & GD68) MANUALLY, I don't need more work. Besides, I'm using a Panasonic.

Why are there no English/Korean ringtones?
Cos I don't listen to English songs, not as much as I used to anyway. Neither do I listen to Kpop... the only Kpop I know are those covered by Chinese artistes. And if they are already covered, there's no point adding a Korean section.

Why isn't there any ringtones by xxx/yyy/zzz/fill-in-the-blank?
Why should there be?? I'm really sick of questions like these. Like I said before, there's probably a million and one artistes out there who ARE NOT in my site. What am I gonna do if everyone starts asking me the same questions? If the artistes you like are not found here, it probably means :
1. I don't like them
2. I don't like their songs
3. Their songs are not popular enough
4. They are not popular enough
5. I'm too lazy to add them in
6. All of the above

I'm using Panasonic G50/G60/X70 and I can't find any ringtones for them here, what should I do?
Actually, G50 shares the same keypress as GD55 and X70 shares the same keypress as GD87/88. I did not include X70 in the GD87/88 label nor G50 in the GD55 label cos I want the site to be uniformed (it's a weird preference), I don't want to go through the entire process of making amendments to all the ringtones of my site again, so... *shrug* The newer ringtones that I'm adding will include a g60 version since it has an entirely different set of keypress. I'm supposed to be converting the rest of the jpop section to the other format (most of them only has the format for GD92) but since there's now a webconverter, I get a little lazy about it. But if there's some songs that you'll want badly and you can't get it converted to the format you want (only for Panasonic), drop me a line and I'll have it converted and uploaded in my next update.

Wow, how did you get all the latest songs here so quickly? The midis are not even out!
Cause I created them from scratch once they are released. And no, I DO NOT convert my ringtones from midi.

How did you create the ringtones then?
By playing the samples I found over and over while trying to get the right note using the ringtone player found on my link page. Yes, it's a lot of hardwork, that's why I'm quite reluctant to add artistes or songs I have no interest in.

What are the '>' sign for? And how do I use the ringtones?
If you bothered checking the instruction page before coming here, you'll know that the '>' sign means pressing the right navigation button on your phone. If you don't know what that means, sorry I can't help you then. As to how to use the ringtones, once you are in the ringtone composer of your phone, just key in whatever you see on my page, in your phone. Do keep in mind that what you key in and what you see on the screen of your phone will not be the same thing.

The ringtone sounds funny, what did I do wrong?
You may have key in some wrong note, try keying it again. If it still sounds funny, you may have key in the wrong version of ringtone (there's 4 different version of keypress). If all fails, drop me a message and I'll check out the ringtone. I do have the tendency to screw up since I usually start creating the ringtone while the song is still very new, so I'm not that familiar with the song and thus, I tend to make mistake here and there. Do let me know which are the funny sounding one though. There's over one thousand ringtones here and I can't go checking on them one by one. Just a note, GD87/88 do not share the same keypress as GD68, so if those ringtones listed them together, it will sound funny on your GD68.

Can you include a sample of the ringtone? I wanna know how it sounds before keying it in/I'm not sure about the title of the songs that I'm looking for so I need to know how they sound like.
Not anymore, sorry. There's way too many ringtones now for me to start adding a midi samples. If you really need a sample, go download the ringtone player (http://home.kimo.com.tw/ringtoneplayer), cut and paste the keypress for GD92 and you'll be able to know how they sound.

Some of the ringtones are too long, can you make them shorter?
No. If the ringtone is too long for your phone, go download the ringtone player (http://home.kimo.com.tw/ringtoneplayer), trim it to the length you want and then key it in your phone/convert it using the ringtone converter.

Why do some of the ringtones end abruptly?
If you loop the ringtones, they should sound fine. If not, drop me a mail and let me know which are the problematic ones.

I have some ringtones not found on your page, do you want them?
If they are not taken from some other page, sure, send them to me and I'll credit you in my page. Please do not send me ringtones found on someone else's page. I hate people posting my ringtones without credits or permission and I'm sure they feel the same.

I click on your link and and it's dead!/I click on your link and nothing happen!
Let me know which are the broken links so that I can check on them. Sometimes I may have forgotten to upload some files and sometimes, the webhost may be acting cranky. And if you click on the songs and nothing happen, it probably means that you did not enable javascript on your browser or you may have some software that blocks out pop-up windows. And I don't know how to fix these problems.

I've been looking for this ringtone and I can't find it anywhere, can you help me find it?
NO! I hate it when people tell me to help them find/locate/search for a ringtone. I don't help people find ringtones, if you are looking for ringtones, head over to www.google.com and do a search over there. I create all ringtones from scratch so it bugs the hell out of me when people tell me to help them search for ringtones. Kinda like making a mockery out of my effort.

Ummm... all right then, can you help me create this ringtone then?
No. I used to take in requests, but not anymore cos I'm sick of people who do not bother thanking me after I get them what they want. What's the big deal you might think? Well, it feels like I delivered something to someone who requested for that something and they never acknowledge receiving it. And besides, weren't we all taught from young to say 'Thanks' when someone helped you? All you gotta do is post a 'thank you' message which probably won't even take like 5 minutes of your time. Creating your ringtone takes way longer than that. If I'm not worth your 5 minutes, you are certainly not worth my time either.

Will you start taking in requests again?
I'm not sure. But chances are, if you are asking for songs by artistes that I like, I may add it in. But then again, if I'm in a bad mood that day or if you bug me hard enough, I may NEVER add in the song not matter how popular or how much I like it. :Þ Oh yeah, every now and then, I may start asking you for ringtones idea (especially when I run out of stuff I wanna add, so this is the chance to start requesting!) so do watch out at the shoutbox for such announcement.

How do you decide what ringtone to add?
I toss a coin... NOT! Priority goes to artistes I like I guess and then how popular the artistes or songs is. Sometimes if a song or artiste is popular enough, I'll add them in even if I don't care for them. And if the song and artiste is popular and you still don't find them here, I probably don't like them! :Þ I prefer band/group to soloist and female to male singers (it should be obvious from the list of ringtones available on my page) and I don't really like boybands. Give me L'Arc~en~Ciel or Glay or even Morning Musume over Smap or V6 any day!

So you mean to say that all the artistes found here are the artistes you like?
Actually, heck no. If this page only has artistes that I like, you probably won't be here right now. Like I said, if an artiste or a song is popular enough, it will probably find its way here. If it isn't, I probably don't like the song or the artiste or I'm just too lazy to add them in. Most of the time, I'll try to add in ringtones that I think you guys will like (for example, I'm not a big fan of Hamasaki Ayumi but knowing that many likes her and are always looking for her ringtones, I have plenty of her stuff here), if I'm wrong, then too bad.

I've noticed that all of your ringtones are in monotone, do you have any polyphonic ringtones?
I don't, sorry. I don't know how to create them but if you check out my links page, you would be able to find plenty of midi sites. Most cellphones should support midi to be used as ringtone. While, I could probably get those midis from the other sites and pass them off as my own in my site and save you guys the trouble, I don't like 'stealing' other people's hardwork. And if you're using samsung phone and it doesn't support midi files, I've also included the link to get the psm player so that you can convert them to mmf format.

How often do you update your page?
I don't know. It usually depends on how many ringtones I've managed to 'accumulate'. Sometimes I'll create all the ringtones at one go, and sometimes I'll create them every now and then, and when I feel that the collection is big enough for an update, I'll convert them, do them into html and upload them.

Can you inform me whenever your page is updated?
I guess so. Drop me an email or something and I'll write you a mail whenever I update my page but do note that I have a bad memory so sometimes I may forget to send you a mail. (eg. I just remembered I haven't been sending emails to inform some people that I've updated my page since MONTHS ago!! Yes, I'm am THAT forgetful)

Why is your link page filled with links on Japanese stuff and hamsters?
Cos I'm a Japanophile and I love hamsters!

Can I link to your page?
Sure, and let me know if you want me to link back, I'll be happy to add you in my link page.

Can I post your your ringtones on some forums/bbs/message boards/etc? Can I add your ringtone to my site?
Yes, IF you link back to my page and credit me for it. It'll be nice too if you will let me know before doing so. I do tend to get really angry when people post my ringtones at other places (some forums, bbs, message board, even their own sites, etc) without giving me credits. It feels like they are stealing my hard work. I know the songs do not belong to me and I do not have copyright to them but am I not the one who spent hours creating them, so shouldn't I be given credit? I'm not even saying that you MUST get my permission to post them elsewhere but the least you can do is, give credits where it's due. It's not so hard right?

Why do you always sound so pissed/annoyed/angry/rude/etc on your page?
Besides the fact that I have a short fuse and that I'm a cranky, quirky, old b*tch? I guess some of you just rub me the wrong way and since I have a bad temper, I just tend to lash out at everyone.

Well, you arrogant/conceited/stuck up/etc @$$, you think you are so great?? Always bitching and complaining and whining on your page. Who cares about what you think? Go get a life!
I do think I have one of the best free ringtones site for Panasonic phone so I have the right to be conceited :Þ and if you don't agree, what are you doing here? And if you don't care, why do you even bother posting me messages like this? And it's not like I'll stop bitching, whining, complaining after getting messages like this from you. This is my page and I do what I want with it, if you don't like it, well, just stop visiting it then. And if I have a life, do you think I'll be wasting my time updating this page dilligently ever so often?

Who is the person behind this page?
Ummm... a cranky, quirky, bitchy old lady with a short fuse and nothing better to do!

Is there a need for a FAQ page?
Guess not, but well, I'm a cranky, quirky, bitchy old lady with nothing better to do, so... :Þ

Anyone with more questions to add, feel free to email me!
