ringle
 n.— «Universal Music Group and the major labels are about to begin rolling out something called a “RINGLE.” You know, like a single? Except this will be 3 songs packaged together with a ringtone and wallpaper image for your cell phone. The truly idiotic part? These will be physical shipped goods that will be stocked in retailers across the country. Wal-Mart and Best Buy have already jumped on board to start carrying RINGLES.» —“Universal Music NOT pulling out of iTunes. Their answer? A RINGLE!” The Boy Genius Report Sept. 5, 2007.
