Also, it seems that the best length for a ringtone is ~20 seconds as that is about how long it takes for the call to go to voicemail. I use the Arrested Development theme as a ring tone that lasts about 17 seconds. It actually loops but only plays about half a second the 2nd time before it goes to voicemail. Since the theme isn't just a repeating sound, it's helpful to know when the call is just about to go to voicemail as you fumble through your pockets trying to answer the call in time. hahah.

You can use programs like Audacity (
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) to edit your ringtones down to size, or use only the portion of the song that you want, as it supposedly takes longer to load the file the larger it is. I've also heard that applying a Low Pass Filter helps increase the clarity of the ring tone.
