Part 1: Rip Music from YouTube Using Desktop Software
There is no difference in the sound files or materials that can be used for ringtones and notification sounds, but some people may confuse them with ringtones and notification sounds, so I will explain a little bit here.
Ringtone is the sound you hear when you receive a call or email, and notification sound is the sound you hear when you receive a message from an app such as Twitter or Line.
Notification sounds always have notifications. Setting a ringtone is equivalent to setting the sound that plays when you receive a call.
