Skypeman is a straightforward and relatively lightweight piece of software that makes it possible for you to customize Skype's default ringtones or sound schemes, basically, it allows you to use a different ringtone for each contact.

Before you can actually get the most out of what it has to offer you need to ensure Skype's presence on your computer's system and you're also required to install the app (pretty straightforward process thanks to its wizard-based installer).

Subsequently, you will also need to provide the app with full Skype access. That said, launch both the app in question and Skype and choose the "Allow access" option from the pop-up window on the latter's main window.

You will surely notice that the UI is somewhat rudimentary, without any complicated and advanced controls. That said, to associate custom ringtones, simply click the contact, open the "Contact Information" window and select or load any ringtone for the four provided states, namely Online, Offline, Call, and Chat.

It's worth pointing out that you will need to uncheck the "default" box in order to proceed and that you can also play the ringtones using the uber-simplistic, two-button media player. As we're sure you've noticed, there's also a useful event manager, easily accessible from the same window, although we should point out that it's quite simplistic.

In the end, Skypeman is a useful little application that really makes it quite straightforward for you to personalize your Skype ringtones based on our preferences. Be that as it may, it would have been better if it would deliver everything from a more specialized package, namely if it would have integrated with Skype's interface even more.
