How Can I Make Ringtones Out of a Music CD?
Having signature ring tones adds a personal touch and individual style to your cell phone. Although you can purchase and download ring tones, many cell phones allow you to set your own ring tones from audio clips in your personal collection. For cell phones of this nature, you only need to extract the desired audio from your music CD and transfer it onto your cell phone. Perform the extraction using Windows Media Player or iTunes to get started.
