So this is how to do it:
Do this in iTunes
Right click on the song you are going to make into a ringtone, and select “Get Info.”
Go to the options tab and go down to the “Start Time” and “Stop Time” check boxes. Check both boxes and input the time you want your ringer to start/stop. The ringtone has to be 30 seconds or less.
Click OK when you’re done.
Then right click on your newly “clipped” song and select “Convert Selection to AAC.”
The song will be re-encoded using the start and stop times determined (If your menu item does not read “Convert Selection to AAC” and reads “Convert Slection to MP3″ (or some other format) please go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing and change the “Import Using” drop down menu to “AAC Encoder”).
After the song is done encoding, navigate to your iTunes Music folder, locate your song, and drag it to your desktop. After the song is on your desktop go back to iTunes and delete the clipped version from you iTunes library (It won’t delete it from your desktop, it will only remove it from iTunes).
Go back the song on your desktop and right click on your song and choose “Get info” Go to the name and extension section and change the extension from .m4a to .m4r (or you can just change the extension right from your desktop)
After the extension is changed simply double click on the file to add it to your iTunes library under the ringtones section. Sync your phone with iTunes and you’re done! Remember to go back into iTunes and uncheck your custom start and stop times for the original version of your song.
If you aren't able to change the file extension you must disable "hide extensions for known file types"
In Vista from Windows Explorer, click Organize / Folder and search options/ View (tab) and uncheck the box.
In XP i think its tools / folder options.
So yeah that's it!
