The PC bit:
1. Download the midi of you choice. (such as Final Fantasy.)
2. Open the midi-file with the audio-editting programme of your choice. (Finale, Studio XP, etc)
3. Make the changes you want. (tempo, transposing, added percussion, less percussion, other types of percussion, removed percussion (if you're a sadist), cropping out the bits you want for your ringtone, etc.
4. Save the file onto your computator.
5. Upload it to your own domain
The mobile phone bit:
6. Go online with your mobile phone.
7. Go to the address where you put your midi.
8. Select it and download onto your mobile phone.
9. Select it as your ringtone.
10. Ring ring!
(Can also be done with background images for your mobile phone.)
Purchasing ringtones and background images are for suckers! :)
Not only is the process I just described free, you get to customise your ringtone exactly the way you want it, and it's also a soothing creative outlet. If you were a Sim®, your Creativity Bar® would be all green.
edit: this is the song I used:

Fast forward to 0:54. That's the part I was talking about (the piccolo flute.)

Wow! The awesomeness of this cannot be understated enough :)
I uploaded this midi file to my webspace, with zero changes. It took me a long time to figure out how to enter a valid URL into my phone's webbrowser using nothing but the phone buttons (oh god that sucked), but after two or three attempts I was able to fumble my way through it. I will be charged 5 cents per kb downloaded, but the midi file was only 8kb. I set it as a ringtone and all was good.
I offer you this FF-related mp3 as thanks :wub:
