The ringtone of the mobile terminal may be the ringtone of the mobile terminal, or may be the alarm ringtone of the alarm or the schedule of the mobile terminal, or may be the prompt ringtone of the mobile terminal receiving the short message, the multimedia message, the email, and the random play mode of the ringtone. It means that the audio file in the preset playlist is randomly played; when the mobile terminal is in the ringtone random play mode, the processor or the corresponding module or chip inside the mobile terminal adjusts the play path of the ringtone of the mobile terminal to a preset playlist. For example, the processor of the mobile terminal performs this operation; the preset playlist contains at least two audio files; and an optional preset playlist can also store an audio file. The audio files in the playlist can be automatically generated by the mobile terminal from the internal stored audio files based on certain conditions, or can be downloaded by the user as needed, or copied from other folders storing audio files, or stored audio from other sources. The folder of the file is transferred to the playlist. The pre-set playlist is any one of a folder for storing music of the mobile terminal, a playlist of a media player of the mobile terminal, or a music album of a media player of the mobile terminal.

The at least two audio files included in the preset playlist are generated according to a preset policy from the audio file stored by the mobile terminal; for example, if the preset policy is Andy Lau's song, if the mobile terminal stores 10 locally The song of the first Andy Lau, the song of the 10 sets of Andy Lau is generated as the audio file contained in the preset playlist; if the preset strategy is classical music, if the mobile terminal locally stores 5 classical music, the 5 is generated. The first classical music is used as an audio file included in the preset playlist. The preset policy can also set the priority. For example, the preset policy is that the song of Andy Lau is the first priority, and the preset strategy is that the classical music is the second priority, so that when the mobile terminal does not store the song of Andy Lau locally or only one song When there are 5 songs and classical music, the default strategy is that the secondary priority strategy of classical music comes into effect. Then, the 5 songs (the mobile terminal does not store the songs of Andy Lau locally) or 6 (the mobile terminal local storage of Andy Lau's one) The first song) music is used as an audio file contained in the preset playlist. It is of course also possible to set a specific number of generated audio files, for example to generate 6 audio files.
