Here’s an idea

[and someone tell me if this has been done already]

I've been screwing around with Garageband making my own ringtones, and I gotta believe there's loads of other folks out there doing the same thing. What I want is a place to share my creations and download tones that other people have made.

I'm imagining a site where I can upload my creations, tag them, and others can demo them (with a nice built in flash player), download them, comment and rate them. The home page will ultimately end up with a list of all the latest tones, organized by tag if you like aswell as providing all the obvious stuff like a list of the most popular (again filterable by tag etc).

Now phonezoo.com is pretty close in concept to this, but from what I can tell phonezoo.com seems to be almost completely populated with tones which have been ripped from copyrighted tracks, which is cool if that's what you're after, but I want to create and share original tones...and I have a feeling that there's loads of other people who'd want to do the same thing. It's fun to create orginal tones and with the wide spread availability of relatively simple software to create your own music/tones with royalty free loops n' stuff (like Garageband) I reckon it could work.

Maybe I should build it.
