make my own ringtones?

[mongoose_eyeball]

I'm sure this topic has been addressed, but I couldn't find an answer when I searched.

Are there any shareware programs that let you make your own ringtones?
I already have audio editing software; I just need a way to download the ringtones to my 8700c.

any ideas?

MP3 Ringtones must be downloaded through the Browser so you must get them hosted on a Website of some sort. Here's one method:

You can attach them in an email to yourself, host them on a web site, or use a wap uploader like www.coolservice.dk

You can attach them in an email to yourself ...
When I send myself an MP3 attachement I cannot open it on my BlackBerry.

www.coolservice.dk works really well though!

Last week, I was eligible for my rebate, so as soon as I sent the form in, I dumped my data plan (wasn't using the browser hardly at all).

So now I learn that I have to use the browser to download my own ringtones? Is there no way to USB them from my computer?

Your only hope would be a third party app if it even exists. For that, search the "Aftermarket Software" forum. Otherwise, you can not transfer them via USB or bluetooth.

go to cnet and download the mp3 splitter and joiner...make all your rings at 128bps but they can't be over 20 seconds.

I made a ringtone at 64k and its 30 secs long and it works fine.

Making the ringtone is easy--I have Steinberg Wavelab, as well as Sony Soundforge, both mastering and editing programs for audio pros. I've already got a big batch of home-edited ringtones (my own music) that I'd downloaded to my razr.

What I need is a program that will let me put it in my 8700c via USB.
