The software is actually less "creation" than "facilitation." I edit ripped WAVs down to the song parts I want (e.g. the drum and guitar break in Ohio Players' "Fire" for my firefighting brother) and save them as low-res mono MP3s. The software transfers the MP3s to the phone; I think the software also shrinks MP3s to resolutions appropriate for the phone.

I have a RAZR and bought Motorola software that transfers stuff between my PC and phone, including pics taken with the phone. Obviously, the phone has to be connected to the computer. I already had the necessary USB<>mini-USB cable for my phone so I bought the download version of the software. Some boxed versions come with a variety of connectors to match most phones on the market.

If you're a Sprint User, follow these instructions:

http://sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58361

Most of you will have to create QPC ringers. It seems difficult when you read it but will become old hand in no time.

All other users can follow those instructions to create the ringer, but will have to find other means to upload/transfer the song to your phone, depending on your phone/service.

EDIT: I just tested this uploader. It definitely works for Verizon (I'm guessing it works for others) so replace the instruction to use the Sprint uploader with this one after you create the file:

(data plan charges may apply depending on your plan)

I just got a new phone and currently rotate between:

Rise Above by Black Flag

Marquee Moon by Television

Verizon's ringtone selection is just not doing it for me. I may try that freebie web site Graace posted. Is Bliptones still around? Their web site is screwy.

Miss P I like that. I will be sending it along to a number of people. Unfortunately they will all think it is nothing more than a joke…

For the regular rotation I use:

Footsteps - Pearl Jam
I Want to Hear What You Have Got to Say - The Subways

For certain people:

Question - Old 97's
The Guy That Says Goodbye to You Is Out of His Mind - Griffin House
Dirty Frank - Pearl Jam

I guess I really like long song titles in my cell phone.
