Sharetones represents a new model in ringtone distribution and sharing. It matches the music on an Android phone with user-generated "ringtone recipes" stored in the Sharetones cloud - giving the Android user instant access to a huge and growing selection of ringtones. Sharetones handles the matching in the background, so all the user does is preview and select. During the introductory period, Sharetones gives Android users unlimited ringtones for free.

“We are really excited to be launching Sharetones for the Android platform,” says Chris Sindoni, DJ Nitrogen CEO. "So far the feedback has been great. It's a simple concept really - Sharetones are ringtones you share. We match your music with someone else's recipe to give you a ringtone, instantly."

Sharetones for Android is built on the DJ Nitrogen content collaboration platform that lets users legally share their mash-ups and remixes with others who own the same source content. The ringtone "recipes" are created and shared by users of DJ Nitrogen's Sharetones desktop applications or the new Sharetones add-on for the Songbird Media Player. Each of these applications features full audio editing capabilities, resulting in a huge database of custom ringtones. "Sharetones for Android helps complete the ecosystem loop" says Boris Ratchev, Product VP and leader of the Sharetones for Android development team. "It gives casual music fans access to over 65,000 recipes created by our desktop app users." Serious DJs can still use the Sharetones Windows or Songbird app to send custom ringtone edits to their Android phones. (See other Sharetones products at http://www.djnitrogen.com/sharetones.html.)
