GarageBand in iLife lets you create custom ringtones for your iPhone. Thats free with every Mac.
 
I used Audiko and the songs are showing up in my ringtones folder on itunes, but not on my phone. Any help? Also, how do I use these for SMS? Is there anyway?

GarageBand so far is the best method. You can use songs, or you can use the included "random sounds" :)
 
Garage band sounds good, but how do I get the Audiko ringtones that are on itunes in my ringtones folder onto my iphone. They wont sync?
 
I actually use iTunes & a little manuvering in Windows' folder options to get free ringtones (I use Windows Vista as i have PCs). This video on YouTube (as there is many like this if you don't like this particular one showing the same type of steps) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BImVPLNbGVU is a little tutorial of how to make ringtones straight from the .mp3 files you may already have. I've made so many, i change my default ringtone every day to shake things up a bit and actually use all the ones i've made (25 in all). I'm not sure if this will help you, as i don't know if you're using a PC or Mac, but hopefully this will help someone.

:D
 
There has been a couple step by step tutorials posted on MR on how to create ringtones from iTunes. I'm suspecting the MROOGLE search engine is down and Arn is working on it ;)
Well I'll be damned, MROOGLE is working, I searched for 'create ringtone' and got 117 results with lucky # 13 being that guide i was referring to.
 
Just a reminder that there is a length limit to ringtones you make. I don't have any idea what it is though. Unless of course you jailbreak, then you can do pretty much whatever you want.
