i do this for all my ringtones... i can set any part of any mp3 as a ringtone, and thats what i do for all mine... i have a LG VX8100 on Verizon, and i just bought the USB adapter for my phone (can be done with bluetooth as well), then downloaded BitPim. i also had to hack into my phone and change some things around b/c Verizon's trying to stop you from being able to do that so you have to buy their ringtones.
