Here's a tip: chunk that POS iPhone and get a Palm Treo 755. Then download one of the many many apps that can make whatever sound you want into a ring tone for FREE. Honestly, the only thing the iPhone does that my Treo doesn't is format webpages as nicely. It gets the job done, but I have access to tons of free apps, email the way I want it, my tunes the way I want them and tons of games. Not only that, but I have Sprint so I don't have to deal with all of Cingular/ATTs crap. They will nickel and dime you to death.

USA today's interview with Steve Jobs:
"Q: Many people already have Beatles music on CDs. Will they really buy it online if they already own it?

A: I do expect them to, yes. That's been the case with other music, as well. I own every Bob Dylan album ever, but I buy a lot of it on iTunes, because I guess I'm just too lazy to rip it from the CD."

Yes, but remember Steve, you have more money than god, some of us mortals will not pay $2 for a stupid ringtone or $10 for an album we already own.

Just use garageband to edit, and "share" it to iTunes, convert to mp3 using itunes and there you go

I am baffled by the iPhone's weakness here. I've got a plain old Motorola v360 that offers MP3 ringtones, no special anything, no cost no nothing. My ringtone is David Gilmour singing Shakespeare's Sonnet 18. Bet I couldn't get that off of iTunes!

here's another vote for the itoner! waited to pay for it until i heard what apple's plan was...get itoner...super simple and you can use any of your music and not have to pay twice for it!

i like iToner. well worth the money, like iMatt said it's easy and intuitive. and i already have Amadeus Pro -- a GREAT shareware sound editor, so i've had a lot of fun making my own ringtones.

of course you could also use Audacity to edit the sound files, but i don't know if it can open and save m4a files.

Hell yea! Why pay Apple 3-5 dollars for the only ringtones I'll ever use when I can pay iToner $15 dollars or iPhoneRingtoneMaker $10 dollars!

At least with iTunes you can choose which 30 sec. segment to use rather than transferring the whole song. Usually the beginning of songs don't make good ringtones. Even the 30 sec. iTunes preview makes a better choice since they usually include the chorus.
