You don't have to use iTunes to get ringtones for your iPhone.
If you want to add ringtones to your iPhone, inexpensive online services can help you do so without buying the ringtones through iTunes. You can use audio and video that you already have on CDs, DVDs or data files, and audio and video converter programs can help you personalize your iPhone with ringtones that specifically identify callers.
Instructions
1. Download the three program files from the links under "References" to make the Song Converter Suite.
2. Install and run these programs on your computer. They will allow you to extract ringtones from DVDs, video files and audio files.
3. Open the newly installed program, iPhone Video Converter Suite. Click "Add" on the upper left side of the window to load the audio or video file from which you will extract your new ringtone.

4. Click "Settings" on the lower portion of the window to set the sample and bit rates of your files.
5. Click "Trim" to edit the length of your audio or video file. Select the portion of the file you want to use by setting its start and end times. Click "Reset" to program another ringtone.
6. Connect your iPhone to the computer via USB cable. Double-click on iPhone PC Suite to activate it on your computer.
7. Click on "Personal" on the main menu of your iPhone, select "Ringtone" and then click on "New Ringtone."
