Ringtones pulled in $600 million in 2005 and the New York Philharmonic, being the intelligent high-tone outfit it is, would like a slice of that pie. Which is why you can purchase half a dozen ringtones, at $3 a pop, of Lorin Maazel conducting the symphony. Tired of hearing "My Humps" on your bus, train, or subway commute? Fight back with Brahms's "Variations on a Theme by Haydn," the finale of Mozart's Symphony No. 39, or the scherzo movement from Dvorak's Symphony No. 7. And the world will be a better place.
