Sandman...
I sure appreciate all the help and I see what you mean about the time and effort that goes into this. I was able to D/L a shareware ringtone maker from Tucows on my other machine and email it to myself. I was able to use it to create a ringtone using the last part of the .wav and it sounds really cool. I was able to use the software to send a text msg to my phone containing the URL for D/Ling the file onto my phone. there's just ONE little problem: My phone SUCKS!

I studied the users manual for my phone,and it's either the phone, Verizon's web service, or both that seem to be very proprietary and I am unable to D/L the file from the txt msg to the fone. It seems to only run the "Get It Now" stuff and the web service is 5 bux/month and proprietary as well, from what I can see. My phone is not record capable either. None of this really matters anyway. We are beyond our 18 month replacement cycle and we are planning on getting new phones right after Christmas and adding our oldest (13 year old girl) to our Family Share plan and getting her her first phone. I'll make sure that the one I get is capable of doing what I need it to do. By the way, the proggie I used is called CreateRingtone! and had a 3 Cow rating from Tucows. It's really simple to run and has a 15 day trial period.
All this from a guy (me) who claimed in an earlier post that I hate annoying custom ringtones! BAHAHAHAHAHA!
