Why pay for what you can do for free.

RIP CDs to MP3 with Windows Media Player.
Cut down MP3s to ring tone size with Audacity.

Both free programs.  Step by Step instructions here:

Oh, no!  You MUST pay for ringtones, the most profitable series of notes
and noise on the planet!

You must be CONDITIONED to not question it, too.  It's all part of the

Three reposts in this thread, as if they were blind reactions to something.

Do both with itunes.  Much nicer interface than Audacity.

I made my own ringtones, snipping the sound that I wanted out of an mp3
file using itunes, and then transferring them to Nokia and Motorola phones
as a bluetooth file download.

Your phone rings for about 21 seconds before voicemail, so you don't need
mp3 files any larger

iTunes, Edit, Preferences, Importing, Import Settings mp3 128kbps.

Play the song you want, and locate the part you want to be the ringtone
(IE: 00:30.00 to 00:51.00) and then Command-I to get info on the song.

Under the Options tab in the Get Info menu, check both start and stop time
and enter the start and stop times for the ringtone section (i.e. Start
time 00:30.00 End Time 00:51.00).

You may want to play it once to make sure it's well cropped.
Select the song in your library and go to
Advanced -> Convert Selection to MP3.

It will convert ONLY the portion of the song that you selected to a new,
cropped MP3 file.  I renamed mine to the same title - ringtone.
Right click, "Show in Windows Explorer".

Drag that the the "Music Files" folder on the phone.

OK, so it's probably just me.  But I'm still trying to figure out why
anybody would use part of a song as an alert somebody is calling them.
Besides, that's not a ringtone; it's a music snippet!  A friend
recently missed an important call because his car radio was on, and he
didn't recognize the difference between the sound from his cellphone
and the music on his radio.

Look at the word "ringtone."  Is anything there that implies "music"?

Of course, I can't speak for anyone else but, for unidentified #'s I use
a default ringtone, for those closest to me I use distinctive and
sometimes humorous ringtones.  Business associates, casual acquaintances
fall somewhere in between.  For me, it's "audible caller ID."

> Besides, that's not a ringtone; it's a music snippet!  

No argument here.  But that's the English language for ya: always on the
march!

And I bet your friend has learned a valuable lesson.  IOW, not
necessarily a fault of the music snippet, per se.

Nice view from up here.  Thx Larc.  Now how do I get down?

Oh My God!  Imagine all the "important" phone calls we missed in the car
before we had cell phones.

Was there life before cell phones? ;-)

Yes but it was very primitive.  Long distance communication for these
primitives often consisted of beating on a large hollow log with a stick, or
later, putting a wet blanket over a fire to create "smoke" signals.
Slightly more modern communication involved two cans and a string.

When the classic rock station decides to play Werewolves of London, I hit
the call button on my dash trying to answer my phone. Gotta laugh.

Of course, it costs infinitely more than Audacity, asshat, and Audacity
is /free/ as in free speech.  How to make ringtones w/Audacity:
