iphone users and free ringtones..
When I used to have an iphone about a year ago there was a windows application that allowed you to convert an mp3 into a ringtone.

does anything like that exist for the iphone 3gs with the 3.0 update?
I don't want to purchase a ringtone for a song I already own. i think that's just lame.

I've used Audacity a bunch for various sound editing projects, including making MP3 ringtones. It's an excellent program...and FREE!

Are you just trying to do one song right now or are you looking for a solution to use all the time?

awesome program, it's like a free version of soundforge.

thanks. but it won't work for anything other than editing.. i need a program to convert a song into the ringtone file. (iphone doesn't just take an mp3 and make it a ringtone, it has to be an apple iphone ringtone file.. so weak)

Send me the song you want (has to be non-protected). matt {at} mattbasile {dot} net

and tell me which part you want as the ringtone.

BTW, if it's Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" jus tell me now and I'll send you the ringtone thats already made

That's weak that it won't play straight MP3 files. Oh the gloriousness of proprietary apple file types.
