yeah, but they seem to be in the minority (my cingular SE phone works properly too) I'm thinking of going a step beyond this: not requiring you to whip out your computer at all. My Sony Ericsson has a program called "Music DJ" that I think I've played with all of twice, but it will let you mix loops to create your own ringtone... what if we go a step farther, and create a composition program with social aspects... allow you to record or create a ringtone on the device itself. The other part that makes this really cool is then uploading this to a sharing site... yes, I know, there's the chance that you record some song off the radio, so we need something to deal with DMCA (it seems a message that says "don't freaking put copyrighted stuff here" is no longer sufficient). Again, I'm having nightmares of people turning recordings of their kids screaming and worse into ringtones... but I think this could be one of the apps that really turns on the mass market

Cingular/AT&T doesn't seem to have any problem with letting users make their own ring tones. On my Samsung SGH-A707, I can select any MP3 file under 1MB as a ring tone. I have a couple on my phone that I edited with GarageBand to select a small enough clip and then downloaded to my phone.
