Follow these simple steps to create a custom ringtone for your iPhone, using iTunes 10.

Rename the extension to .m4r. - Copy the .m4r file to your Desktop. - Go back to iTunes, and delete the clip from iTunes. - Drag and drop the .m4r file from your Desktop to iTunes Ringtones folder. - Sync the ringtones with your iPhone.
