How do I create a ringtone?

Use CDEX for ripping from your CD to mp3, this is an excellent piece of free software.

mp3 cutter for cutting up your converted mp3's

Thank you very much Chewie!!

I just have one more question. What is the appropriate or an efficient length in seconds for a MP3 ringtone? Thanks!

I use CDEX and Sound Forge.

-Edit-

Most of my ringotones are 10 to 20 seconds long.BTW:I find mp3 files to be too soft when used as ringtones so i use wav files

I use MyMP3 Pro and this allows you to increase the volume of the MP3 as you're ripping it. Makes it much better as a ring-tone, but still nowhere near as loud as my favourite - a WAV file of an old bakelite phone ringing. Still scares the living **** out of everyone within a hundred yards when it goes off 😊

I used Chewie's suggestion and just placed Metallica's Sad But True as my ringtone. Very cool and thanks for the help all!

I have a few of those too!

I showed you mine,now you show me yours 😃

Aw shucks, but I get all shy......Well, I suppose maybe this once.

BTW, Tomoh, love the idea of a Metallica ring tone. Might give the opening riff of "Enter Sandman" a go this evening!

I make my ringtones approx 45 seconds. If I need to increase the volume I use goldwave.

If anyone has a wav or mp3 of the old style phone ring, bakelite style, please drop me a line? [email][email protected][/email]

Search the Series 60 multimedia forum.I believe you will find a few.

The one attached above is a wav of an old bakelite phone. It is the loudest ringtone I have ever come across and can be neither missed nor ignored.
