HowTo: Create a ringtone for your iPhone 3G

I use a program called Audacity to create the ringtone.

You can download Audacity here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

1. Open the .MP3 in Audacity.
2. Select the part of the song you want to be your ringtone.
   1. Try to keep the selection 30 seconds or under.
3. Save it as a "NEW" file.
   1. File -> Export Selection as .mp3
   2. Note: You might need the lame_enc.dll for encoding purposes.  You can get the .dll here.
4. Open iTunes and import the new file.
5. Find the song you just imported.
6. Right click on new file and choose "Convert to AAC"
7. In iTunes, find the newly created .AAC file.  Right click on file and choose "Show in windows explorer"
8. Rename the file from .m4a to .m4r
9. Import the .m4r song into iTunes
10. The song will now show up under Ringtones.
11. Drag and drop the ringtone to your iPhone.
