OK, so it's probably just me. But I'm still trying to figure out why
anybody would use part of a song as an alert somebody is calling them.
Besides, that's not a ringtone; it's a music snippet! A friend
recently missed an important call because his car radio was on, and he
didn't recognize the difference between the sound from his cellphone
and the music on his radio.

Look at the word "ringtone." Is anything there that implies "music"?
