It only works on MP3 files and nothing else at all.

I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I'll probably screw that one

Hi Josh,
I have absolutely no idea if this program can do anything with ring tones.
As a matter of fact, I don't know any thing about this program at all! I
just have notes saved in case I might be interested in the program at some
point or another. Sorry, take care.
Mike

Mike,
Thank you for this information it seems like it contains a lot of
valuable
information and will be great for getting started with it. I notice that
it
speaks of PodCast and that sort of thing. Do you know if it can make ring
tones? If not it will still be a valuable program for school notes and
that
sort of thing.
