I get aggravated easily, and I'm having one of those moments right now.

I want to put some ringtones on my phone from music on my computer.... that's not the problem. The problem is that the song starts from the beginning when someone calls. What if the part of the song I want is between, say, the one minute mark to maybe 1:20?

Is there a program I can use to "cut" that part of the song and save as a .wav file or .mp3 file? Then I could just use that new "song" as my ringtone, and it would work just fine.

TIA for the help!

HTC Hero (the Sprint version)

I have an 8gb MicroSD card in it, so it can hold a ****-mess of songs. I just want maybe 10-15 ringtones total.

Did you check the phone for a program? I had the HTC touch pro 2 and it came with some MP3 trimmer program

#8 - I'm not clicking on that.

#9 - No such luck. You can make ringtones off iTunes for like $.99 or something, but that's ridiculous. They've taken enough of my money already.

How about thiis one:

Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows

Lesley Gore

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,

Everything that’s wonderful is what I feel when we’re together,

Brighter than a lucky penny,

When you’re near the rain cloud disappears, dear,

And I feel so fine just to know that you are mine.

My life is sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,

That’s how this refrain goes, so come on, join in everybody!

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,

Everything that’s wonderful is sure to come your way

When you’re in love to stay.

Yes, Audacity.

Or just email me the song, tell me where you want the cut-in and the cut-out and I'll send you back the cut segment. It'll only take me about a minute to do.

Coooooooooool, thanks TG.

Let me mess around first and see if I can get it to work. Is this the program you use?

Yes, it gives me near professional level editing and manipulation capability without the pricetag.

Next best thing to Protools (THE defacto standard for audio editing).

Gotta run and get the kids from daycare... but....

I've got a song on there right now, and I can highlight what section I want, but I can't trim it to export it as a .wav file. (I'm using the info from the online Wiki tutorial).

Back in a few.....

Trim it, then export it. Don't do it as one operation.
