    Just figured out how to put a song from i-tunes onto my phone and use it as a ringtone. Can anyone tell me how I can select the specific part of the song that I want to use as the ringtone? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    That would be something you'd do on your computer. Get audio editting software and cut the bit you want out into its own file.

    Audacity would probably do it

    Thanks folks, I've downloaded Audacity. Can't figure out how I clip a section of a i-tune file. Seems straight forward for recording something with a microphone, but how does one import an entire track from i-tunes?

    I've tried the import feature and what comes in is just about 10 seconds of distorted noise, as if the entire track has been speeded up to just 10 seconds, or something like that...:confused:

    You don't 'import a track from itunes'. Itunes is just listing files that are on your computer. Find the file and import it, ignoring itunes entirely.

    Or do you mean you just imported it from the folder where itunes stores its files?

    What format is the file in? It should ideally be in MP3 format.

    As a side note, you will have to download LAME for Audacity to edit MP3s.

    And don't forget, as I said in the Apple Media Devices forum, if it is a protected song, you won't be able to do a whole lot with it.
