download Audacity. It's free.
edit your .wavs or mp3's.

[RinTinTigger]

What format for ringtones does the droid read?

 

[OyVOid]

I use RingDroid to create my own fringtonesfrom downloaded songs. If I only want one line from a 3 minute song, it allows me to edit by dragging a start and stop time to customize the song. I can then save it as a notification, a ringtone, music, or alarm. Totally awesome!

It can use MP3's

Creating ringtones is no problem. I use wavepad and fade out all of mine at the end because i hate it when ringtones stop short and sound abrupt. But how do I save the files on the SD card so that the droid recognizes it as a ringtone and not a music file?

It was easier on my old voyager but I'm having trouble getting it on this phone.

When you save it as a MP3 it will think its a music file however you can set any song as your ring tone. Bring up up the song on the music player, hit menu, then set as ring tone.

Okay, so I can get ringtones and such on there, but I can't seem to get them to show up for the notifications...any help there? (I know, an older thread sorry)

edit: nevermind, figured it out

aRing

I'm running CyanogenMOD 6, but I found the notification sounds in /system/media/audio/notifications using Astro file manager. I can't figure out how to move the new files off my sd-card into that folder, but a free app called aRing (in the market) set the file for use as a notification without moving it. (I changed my .wav's to .ogg's using the free version of Switch from nchsoftware.com, not sure if I had to.)

Ringdroid, highly recommend it. P.s. I also suggest you try ShapeWriter. Best thing in my life since root.
