Steve Jobs just announced what we’ve been waiting for the iPhone was launched last June: iPhone Ringtones!
Here’s how Steve Jobs explained the new service:
"iTunes is clearly leading the way. We’re going to ship a new version of iTunes tonight to support some new products. The biggest new feature: ringtones."
"We’re going to do ringtones in our own special way. Of course these are for the iPhone. What we want: rather than let someone else make ringtones, we people to be able to make their own."
"Our ringtones are going to cost just $.99 in addition to the song." "Here’s how it works… when you plug in your iPhone a new column will pop up with bells — that shows how many songs you can make ringtones out of." Any segment up to 30s long, fade ins/outs. "When you’re ready to buy, push the buy button and for 99c you have a ringtone."

I would like a way to use other sounds rather than songs as ringtones. Does anyone know if we can do that? That is something I always liked about other phones and miss on my iPhone. I really don’t like the idea of paying .99 for sounds or songs I already own. I saw the keynote address and was surprised at the positive response this “feature” got. Only Steve Jobs could alienate hundreds of thousands of the faithful that paid $599, by now asking to pay for a song twice. We bought into it!

if you have already purchased a song you are able to just buy the ringtone for the other .99. that is if i can read good.
