HOWTO Sending EMS Ringtones Melodies to Mobile Telephones

The sending of ringtones/melodies to Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) capable
handsets requires the ringtone to be formatted in a special way within the SMS
that is sent to the mobile telephone.
The specially formatted ringtones
can be encoded in such a way as to be sent to a mobile telephone through HSL's
Advanced Services using our HTTP or SMPP SMS gateway interfaces.
A converter
application is available from Sony Ericsson that allows RTX formatted ringtones
to be converted into EMS iMelody format.
The shortmessage field of the
HTTP POST to the "submitsm" action URL should contain the string of
ASCII hexadecimal characters contained in the converted file.

HFA does not directly correlate
to Soundscan's numbers for a number of reasons, including the one-quarter lag
in reporting provided to HFA by the labels and the variable mix of HFA-represented
versus non-represented releases.
Terri Fricon's career in the music business
has moved between the worlds of records, film, and music publishing, and the Fricon
Entertainment Company is the culmination of all her experience.
This month,
we're highlighting two of the "behind the scenes" members of the HFA
Finance department.
If you are a music publisher (or the assign, successor
in interest, heir or beneficiary of a music publisher) that has been affiliated
with HFA, and you're not sure whether HFA has your current contact information,
it is possible that HFA is holding royalties due to the lack of a valid mailing
address.
