Edit your mp3 down to 30 seconds...at the portion of the song that you want using an mp3 editor program.

Also be aware that some phones have size restrictions for the mp3 ringtone...make sure your new ringtone is within the size restrictions.

Keep it uner 250k.
They recently stopped allowing .mid files to be emailed.
But if you change the extension to .md, it's still usable.

Idk what everyone else is saying. With my phone it takes mp3 as ringtones so I can use quictime pro or windows movie maker (I used to use the former but now use the latter cause it's more precise) or whatever audio editing program you want and clip out the portion of the song you want and then I bluetooth it to my phone and then chose to use it as a ringtone.

If your phone has a USB connection, that's easier done than said really. If you want a third-party mp3 chopper, I suggest Audacity ..

if your phone connects through USB you can use the program BitPim to access all your phone files. From there you can just move the song over to the phone. Bitpim supports most phones, very simple.
