How do I make my own ringtones using music I own?
Are there any free programs I can download to achieve this? What is the easiest way to do this? I own a Blackberry and know that I can put my own ringtones on it, I just need a program to manually/automatically cut the songs into smaller clips.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

These are the steps to follow.
1. Once you have downloaded and installed Audacity, download LAME. This will allow audacity to export files as MP3 files. Unzip LAME
2. Next move is choose a song that you would like to be your ringtone
a. If the file is an mp3 file just open it with audacity
b. Erase all of the songs except 15 seconds that you want as a ringtone. Usually the best portions are big impact moments or choruses
3. Next, you can downsize many kb's for your ringtone by compressing the song so your Blackberrywill be able to play it. It is ideal to set your sample format to 16-bit and the rate to below 3200 Hz and put the song on Mono. Don't forget that this will be played through a tiny speaker in your phone.
4. Go to File, Export as an MP3, try to look for the LAME file when prompted. Name the file the and what you want it to appear in your phone.
5. Then, you can send your file to your Blackberry. Here are two ways to do this:
1. Email the mp3 file to your phone as an attachment and you will receive in a minute or two your file. Your phone's email address is your 10-digit number at your carrier's email URL.
Examples:
---quote---
o AT & T: @mms.att.net
o Sprint: @messaging.sprintpcs.com
o T-Mobile: @tmomail.net
o Verizon: @vzwpix.com or @vtext.com
o Send a picture message or text message to your email account if your carrier is not listed. This will give you an address to reply to your phone.

2. You can also send it through Bluetooth.
3. You can also transfer file through an USB cable
6. If you sent it through email, just open the email on your phone, save the sound clip under message options and set it as your own ringtone.
