For Windows Phone users who want to add new sounds to the default ringtones the choice is varied, as there are plenty of dedicated utilities in the Store.
One of the numerous applications that are meant to help in finding fresh sounds and which can be used to save the audio files locally is suggestively called Popular Ringtone.
Uncomplicated front-end, made for ease of use

The content is kept very organized, inside relevant categories and with well structured lists for you to go through. Navigating among the various sections of the utility has a fluent feel to it, lacking any noticeable delays.
The advertisement banners are present inside this app and they keep flashing and changing in the lower part of the screen, while once in a while they will be accompanied by some reminders that prompt you to rate and review the app or try other utilities.
Search for ringtones and play them on the spot
Popular Ringtone offers a good selection of features and popular sounds, so you can make some quick picks just by going through the first screens. Thus, the "Top Ringtones" section contains the most popular sounds that are appreciated by users worldwide.
In case you do not fancy going through the suggestions offered by the utility, there is a specialized search engine to ease your job. The results are displayed promptly and you have the possibility to play the audio tracks right from the list of results.
One of the options attached to each entry on the list is to search for the full music file corresponding to that ringtone, but this requires a third-party app and you will be prompted to install it when tapping the respective button.
Save and set ringtones in no time
Each file is downloaded to the app's local storage when you use the dedicated function, but if you want to keep any of the sounds and save them in the Music library, this is only possible after a purchase. The saved files are shown in the "My Download" section for fast access.
Should you care to set as ringtones any of the audio files you find this utility, a single tap will bring up this possibility. Please note that caching songs is also limited in the free version, so you might not be able to get all the audio tracks you are after.
