OK, THIS IS BIG... FREE VZW RINGTONES. SERIOUSLY.

K, it's up now, so I'll try to elaborate further. For example, when you click the headphone icon to preview a ringtone, a pop-up will "pop up" with the audio file. Right click on the window and select "view page info". Immediately you'll see the referring address of the audio file. For example:

http://getitnow.vzwshop.com/wmpPopup.aspx?track=http://mobileimage.ztango.com/sound/vttone/006025171418341103.mp3&title=Smack%20That%20(feat% 20Eminem)&artist=Akon&contentId=41360&contentType= RT

Most of that url is garbage, BUT, notice the "TRACK=HTTP://" portion of the address? There's the meat and potatoes boys. Highlight that portion of the address, should be something like this:

http://mobileimage.ztango.com/sound/...1418341103.mp3

Disregard the part that begins "&title=Smack%20That%20...etc" Cut and past the aforementioned URL into a new page, and an embedded media player should appear playing the streaming audio file. I just noticed it's actually the Apple Quicktime player that plays in my Firefox Browser.

Right click anywhere inside the webpage, click "save as source", and rename as "SmackThat.mp3" or whatever the file may be in your case. No messy audio editing, no scouring forums for zip files, only to unzip and play the ringtone to find out you don't like it.

Preview it. Hack it. Own it.

Merry Christmas
