Tips & Warnings
The ideal file size for custom ringtones is about 600kb. This way, the files don't occupy much space, are short and concise, and should load and run quickly.
If you need to edit a format other than WAV, you'll need a third-party audio editing program. Audacity is free to download and capable of editing many different formats, including several of those listed.
