+In subdirs there are original ringtones and SMS tones
+from various Nokia phones. They're saved in special
+binary format used in phone's firmware. You can download them to your phone,
+if it has downloadable ringtone(s) - use
+"gnokii --setbinringtone file [location]". I tested Nokia 6150 5.22 and it was
+OK. I hope, that Nokia will not change this format and you will be able to
+use it with new phones too (update: 3310 seems to have different format).
+
+I also noticed, that with Nokia 6150 some ringtones required small changes
+(inserting space (0x20 char) after name displayed in phone's menu).
+Maximal length of names for this phone is 12 chars (that's why "Moon & clouds"
+is only "Moon & cloud", "Mexican Hat Dance" -> "Mexican Dance",
+"Piano concerto" -> "Piano concer", "WalzeBrillant" -> "WalzeBrilla")
+
+I wasn't also to restore Badinerie, Tchaikovsky,
+Entertainer, Valkyrie, Four seasons, Auld lang syne, Bumblebee,
+Brave Scotland, Liszt, Hungarian, Left Hand
+(I had it in the file - it was no problem to save
+it), because it was too long (ringtones in phone's firmware in flash
+can be infinitely long, downloadable not - frame can be 317 chars long
+only)... I had to short name in "Swan Lake" to "Swan" because of it...
+
+In Get_Cool,Sunny_Walks,Tick tick ringtones there is and error - small
+"pyk" on the end. It's not my fault, it was made by Nokia...
+
+Similiary Hopping-down seems to cut (next Nokia fault ?)...
+
+PS. I didn't compared many of these ringtones with original phones.
+If there are differences, please let me know (my files could be broken too)
+
+PS2. I tried to understand this format, but I didn't make it at all (too small
+free time, etc.). Here are some observations:
+
+Format is used by 0x40/0x9e and 0x40/0xa0 frames. General format is:
+
+0x00,0x01,0xa0(0x9e),location,0x00,0xc1,0x01,?,name,0x00,0x00,0x02,
+commands and tones?each probably in two bytes?,0x0b
+
+where: location=0x00,0x01,etc.
+       name=name in ASCII displayed in menu
+
+If phone doesn't find 0xc1,0x01,? bytes in 7,8,9 byte, don't display ringtone
+name and treat them (if there are next) as ringtone contenst
