I make ring tones all the time. Easy to do as long as the phone can use
the more standard formats.

Basically you use an audio program such as Audacity. Import the
sound/song into it. Then you cut the parts you don't want to use for the
ring tone. You want a final product around 15-20 seconds max.

Then you save the ringtone as a mp3 file. Now for the fun part. Getting
it to your phone. If it's a phone that can connect directly to a
computer or uses a memory card you can load it directly. If you can
receive multimedia text messages you can send it to yourself using
e-mail. Or you can use a service to send it to your phone
