With verizon's LG VX8000 you can record anything and use it as a ring tone. I've recorded a couple of my beats on my girlfriends phone so when I call, sammy beats plays. Soon you will be able to do the same with the LG VX8100, which is what I have. They just have to release a patch. As far as programs, I've heard of a few, but unfortunately I can't remember their names. All I know is that they exist and most of them require you to convert the music to 64 kbps or less mp3s.
