Yea, it is a great program Smiley Like I said once you learn it, you can make ringtones in about 30 seconds. I will write up a tutorial and include it below. Good luck and any questions feel free to ask in here.

I have added a video supplement to this post:

Video Supplement:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/1QN9FJYWIdY&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/1QN9FJYWIdY&rel=1</a>

Download link:http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Quick tutorial:

1.)Drag file to Audacity to import it.

2.)Split the stereo track:

Click for full size

3.)Cut it down to 1 channel. Because your phone only has 1 speaker and is mono.

Click for full size

4.)Set it to mono, again, you only have 1 speaker.

Click for full size

5.)Make your selection, just like you are highlighting text. You can listen to your selection by hitting play, and it will only play your selection. You can click and drag either end of your selection to add or subtract to or from it.

Click for full size

6.)Turn up the gain if you would like.

Click for full size

7.)Export selection

Click for full size

8.)Name it and select MP3. The default MP3 options should be fine for you, but if you know what you are doing feel free to tweak them. Then click save.

Click for full size

9.) To get it onto your phone, transfer it to the ringtone folder via USB Mode OR open the ringtone in iTunes and have your pre sync with iTunes.

Those are the only ways as far as we know.

Enjoy!

I'm going to edit this and add a link to an uploader.

EDIT: Alright I changed it.

EDIT: By the way, I have been using this tutorial and it works well. Good Job!

I'd give you a cookie but I'm pretty sure I already gave you one.

Also you might want to mention that when downloading audacity you must download the optional download, "LAME MP3 Encoder". to make MP3 ringtones.

Hmmm that's odd. When I first go to export an mp3 after an install it prompts me to install it.

In any case you will also need the Lame mp3 encoder.

The new audacity comes with LAME (the beta anyway).

after you trim it, you may want to select all and do the "highpass" filter option.  I set mine for 150.  It's basically just filtering sound your cell phone speaker has a hard time reproducing, and it will clean up the sound.

Then just email the ringer to yourself via MMS as an attachment.

I thought you could select any mp3 on the phone to become a ringtone?

I have no idea where i read it.

And I used this program to do ringtones a long time ago, so it was very easy.
