How to make a mp3 ringtone

Hey!

Recently i watched a keynote presentation from mr. Steve Jobs from Apple that was about their new function, making ring tones wit Itunes. The idea is great, you take a song, cut 30 seconds that you think would make a perfect ring tone and press cut. The catch is that you have to pay 0,99$ for the song and 0,99$ for the ring tone you just made... If you already have a song, then you just have to pay 0,99$ for a ring tone...

I thought a bit about that and realized, why not find a free program on the internet that allows you to edit audio, and to make your own mp3 ring tone, or in any other format for that mather. I found software called WavePad from NCH Swift Sound. It's really simple to use and it's really simple to cut mp3's and to make mp3 ring tones out of them. You can also convert audio files with software that comes with WavePad. Just be sure to install the converter in the WavePad installation process.

So now you have installed the program, how to make a ring tone??:
-open a song you want to make a ring tone of
-listen to the song, and when you find that special peace of song you like, just use you mouse to color it
-now click CRTL+C to copy that part
-then open a new file, it pop's a window, just click OK
-when the new window opens, press CTRL+V to paste the part you copied
-listen to it once more and if you are satisfied click the X to close the window
-it will ask you if you want to save the file, you click yes, you name it and choose a format you want to save it in and that's it

Enjoy!

Best,M
