    Here's what I did:

    1) used RipBurnEdit
    http://www.blazeaudio.com/products/mp3editor.html?ref=gogseamp3ed
    to truncate my MP3's to a suitable length for a ringtone

    2) put them up on my http server (Apache running on Red Hat linux)

    3) used the browser in my phone, plugged in the URL for the MP3's:
    Invader Zim
    http://mattrobbins.dyndns.org/iz.mp3

    Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music
    http://mattrobbins.dyndns.org/funky.mp3

    MC Chris - Boba Fett
    http://mattrobbins.dyndns.org/mcc.mp3

    my band, Time to Burn - Baby I Need Your Lovin'
    http://mattrobbins.dyndns.org/bin.mp3

    4) once the MP3 is stored in my phone just go through the multimedia menus on the phone to select them as either general ring tone or go through the address book and set them as ringtones for individuals.

    Good idea but check your phone bill, you'll get charged for data usage. So you end up paying for the mp3s.
