All you need is an email address. Then point us to your original* songs or images available on your computer or anywhere on the Web. There is no need to modify the files you already have. We have online tools to help you pick the exact portion of the song or image you want to share as your ringtone or wallpaper.

*By original songs and images, we mean that you own all applicable rights to distribute the content. Typically that means that you are the artist who created to song or image. Just because you purchased the song on CD or from an online store, doesn’t mean that you can share it with others. It that is the case, try our Make Your Own section instead. Please see our Terms and Conditions for more info. Still confused? Let us know and We’ll try to help.

(By original content, we mean that you own all applicable rights to distribute it.) Some of our “artists” are actually record labels, advertising agencies, and other web sites. The simplicity with which one can use Myxer to create mobile content from existing assets make it a great solution for all kinds of partners.

If you have content you want to mobile-ize with Myxer, we recommend that you just create an artist account and give it a spin. If you have special requirements or needs that can’t be met with a standard artist account, you may be a candidate for our Mobilized by Myxer program. Please let us know and we’ll be happy to work with you.
