Okay, go here first to download MIDIs: http://home.comcast.net/~mrtoade/FORnokiafirefly.mid
(for Nokias or other Type 0 MIDI phones)
or
http://home.comcast.net/~mrtoade/FORfirefly2.MID
(for other Type 1 MIDI phones)

Next go to http://www.wap.pcs3g.com/ and 'Relay' the ringtone to them. It will then be available for download from your cellular. Must be 'web-connected', which late-model Nokias are by default.

It was a little tricky, so if you need more specific help, just reply to this message and I'll give you a step-by-step for Nokia 3595. Mileage may differ for other handsets... Hope this helps.


Respectfully,

zoid

OK, here's an alternative...

once you've found your ringtone (i just downloaded this one http://home.comcast.net/~mrtoade/FORfirefly2.MID, which is pretty cool), go to www.coolservice.dk and upload it - they send you an ID code, then you just log onto to http://wap.coolservice.dk, enter the code & download your ringtone/picture etc to your phone. I've had the occasional problem, eg the file is too big but I'd definitely recommend it.

Okay, I got the most annoying crappy phone in the world (nokia 2600). Won't let me download polyphonic tunes and stuff... But I do got composer... anyone knows the notes to the song? You'd make me extremely happy...

I have a Samsung 660. I was able to get that Coolservice.dk site to work. I logged in and downloaded the midi, but it doesn't seem to have transferred to my phone to actually use. Am I missing a step?

I have a Samsung i700. With that I was able to download a MP3 of the song and convert it to a .wav file. I now have the song as a superphonic ringtone. It's so awsome everytime it rings I have the song sung to me with violins and all.

Can anybody tell me where to find the MP3 version of the ringtone? I'd love to have it ringing in my phone!

MAL: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em.
ZOE: Shoot 'em?
MAL: Politely.

I downloaded it. In the end the FORnokia one was the only one that worked properly, even though my phone is a Sony Ericsson! The only problem is, it's really quiet. Even with the ring on full volume it's not going to be very useful as a ring signal.

My cell phone can play "real music" and I have an mp3 of the Firefly theme but it's too long. You can only download about 30-40 seconds of any song to the phone. There's ways you can cut an mp3 file but it's beyond my technically challenged mind. So if anyone has a short mp3 of a partial Firefly theme and there's any way you can get it to me, that would be really cool and shiny.
Can't go back to those polyphnic tones....

That's the same problem I had....I could live with the MIDI version, except for the softness of it. I never hear it ringing. SO....I went to freeringers.net, got their file conversion program, and tried making my own version of the theme. Unfortunately, it was really, really choppy, so much so that I couldn't use it, no matter how I tried to modify/compress it. Some songs work great with it, others, not so much. I ended up with a really nice version of River's dance music from Safe (and it's a nice loud ring tone as well!), and my husband did the Brunnen-G theme from Lexx and the Looney Toons "factory" theme....nothing else really sounded right.
