Making your own ringtones

[floresdave]

Let me preface this by saying my wife wants me to make her a ringtone for her phone. I used to subscribe to a service that had a free ringtone ripper and you paid 10 bucks a year to use technology to send it to phone in proper format. I looked on afterdawn forum and found a program called audacity that someone posted along with a "guide". I guess i'm spoiled on this forum because it really didn't clarify much mainly because i know the problem will not be creating the ringtone, but finding a way to succesfully get it on my phone. I have a USB cable for my phone and it has a micro sd card for storage. When i went tried to import old ringtones i ripped and saved to hard drive i can play them in my phone's mp3 player, but when i transfer to my ringtone(sounds) folder they don't show up after the phone is unplugged from computer.

To make a long story short does anyone know a program to use or a site that allows you to make ringtones of CD's or mp3's that you own legal copies of and transfer them to your phone.

edit: found pretty good guide http://www.mrbass.org/ringtones/
Make your own Ringtones , but would love any helpful input tips or alternatives

I tried searching the afterdawn forum for more clarification but every search topic came up empty.(that forum is a mess)

One bit of information. If you can't get the tutorial pictures to appear, turn off your internet security. This should do the trick.

Thanks floresdave!!
