Stop Paying for Ringtones

What you need

• Cell phone with MP3 ring-tone support
• CD or MP3 of the song
• Any method of transferring the ring tone from computer to phone (USB, Bluetooth, e-mail, instant message, etc.)
• Audio-editing software that allows export to MP3. If you don't already have this, Audacity is a good open-source program you can download for free, and is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. You'll also need the LAME library for Windows, Mac or Linux. (LAME is a free downloadable MP3 codec that enables Audacity to encode to MP3.)
• About 20 minutes
