Tones which r downloads in old sets like nokia-1100,2100 are monophonic ringtones while polyphonic ringtones are downloadable in like nokia-2300 The technical difference between monophony and polyphony is the number of tones existent or otherwise capable of being played. Monophony, meaning that only 1 tone is present and typically consisting of sharp melodies. When a new note is struck the last note is abruptly stopped. Polyphony, being the counter-part to monophony, is the presence of multiple notes at one time, allowing for chords and harmonies. Different phones depending on their processor may have varying degrees of polyphony. Typically anything above monophony is 4 to 6. -V

There are two meanings of the word monophonic. The first definition means a piece of music that has only one melodic line. The second definition relates to electronics and means an audio system that records, transmits, or plays a sound where one or more sources is connected to a single channel.
