Your mobile phone rings,and instead of usual electronic signals,it’s playing your favorite music.A friend sends your favorite song to cheer you up.One day,a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone

The mobile business is getting into the music business.For the moment,the interest is in pleasant ring tones,but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones-all-purpose gadgets that blend phone,personal stereo,video player and Internet browser into one.

Finally,record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register their cell phone numbers.

The fans could pass music or songs along to friends—a kind of musical trading card.Unlike Internet tracks,mobile downloads would be easy for record companies to control,said former record industry official Ralph Simon,who is now chairman of your mobile,based in Santa Monic,California.

“If you pass a song along to other phones through a network,each phone can be charged,” said Simon.“It’s like going through a toll gate（收费站）.There’s more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet.”

Massachusetts-based Converse is offering a service in Portugal and the Netherlands that lets people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends.Finally,people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along.The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone.

“A mobile phone is not a listening machine,and you’ll be disappointed if you think you can change it to a radio,”said Ohad Ouziel,a creative manager for Converse in Israel.“But if someone sends you a song while you’re on vacation,you appreciate the feeling.”
