iPhone Custom Ringtones
So I’m getting the new iPhone 3GS this Friday. I’ve already purchased a skin (Switcheasy Colors – Stealth: http://tinyurl.com/6mky8m) and a screen protector (http://tinyurl.com/aajjz6). I also downloaded a bunch of iPhone apps as recommended by iTunes itself and various sites:

There are a million more sites to look upon, but I found these pretty useful. Many of the apps out there are really based off of your own discretion though.
But anyway, also in preparation of my new phone, I wanted to figure out how to make my own, custom ringtones. Previously, I used a program called Samsung PC Studio to cut all of my songs and just apply them as ringtones on my cell phone (http://tinyurl.com/6g57bp). FYI, although the link is directed to a specific phone, it can still just be used as a song cutter for many other normal phones which are not smartphones. Now, I found it very unfortunate that Apple has to be a jerk and make things universal for their own brand, and their own brand only. But hey, that’s Apple for ya. Luckily, there are hackers and geniuses out there who know how to do such things as jailbreaking the iPhone and in this post’s case, creating custom iPhone ringtones. I googled how to proceed in doing this, and I found a decent video tutorial on YouTube.
P.S. Ignore the annoying background music. Go ahead and mute it if you want, since he types out instructions in Notepad in his tutorial:
