Tips & Warnings
Don't be overwhelmed by the number of options available and only use sites that you are comfortable with. If you're unsure about downloading a piece of software, it may be better to use a conversion site instead. This will reduce the risk of computer viruses.
Always be aware of possible charges from your cell phone carrier. While most of the MP3 conversion sites and software are free, browsing from your cell phone may not be. Always check your plan and coverage before using your phone to download ring tones.
