Make them yourself. Most phones can be set to use music that is already on your phone.

Do people still 'get' ring tones?

I assumed everyone now uses MP3's?

can also use a free mp3 editor like audacity to cut & crop mp3's into short files to use as a message alert for example

Heaps of MP3 sounds on the web.

I have a cow for my txt messages - I was expecting some info from the better half, and it came during a business meeting and without thinking said "That'll be my wife" - everyone laughed, then I realised what I had said.

hmmm that would be an interesting idea for a thread - what crazy sounds do you have and when have they "gone off" inappropriately.

Easiest just too google the song you want as a tone and put the format your phone is in after. Eg chicken_dance.m4r for iPhone.

On Android phones if you play the song you want as your ringtone, hit the Menu button and you can set it in there, and you are also able to trim the song down into a section so it only plays part of a song as your ringtone.

I downloaded a free app called 'MP3 music downloader'. Has a tonne of the latest songs you can download to your phone for free to use as you will. (Android phones)

Zedge is also another good free app which has song as well as notification tones etc.

Personally I do not like full songs as ringtones, I prefer a "grab" perhaps a chorus, etc.
I once had the theme to the great escape, but the intro was too long so I cut it back on my PC then used just the bit I wanted.

With Android phones I think you can choose which portion of the song you want audible for your ring tone. Took all of 2 mins to setup. Well at least you could on my HTC Desire Z. Was pretty handy to have.

Should still be able to, do you have it on your SGS2?

I used it on Monday to trim down my tone just to be the opening riff of "The Sunk'n Norwegian" by Alestorm.
