To create your own custom ringtone on your iPhone follow these instructions (done using windows xp):
1.Select the song in iTunes and right click on it
2.Select "Get Info" and go to the Tab "Options" and Select the start time and the stop time. For your ringtone you need to select 30 seconds of the song, you can pick any part of the song. After that you click OK
3.After doing this you need to click on the Advance Tab and Select convert to ACC Version. Before doing this make sure that the song you want for your ringtone is selected.
4.You will notice that after clicking in Create ACC Version, another version of your song will be created but this version will be only 30 seconds long. This version will be your ringtone.
5.To be easier for me, I created a folder on my desktop "Ringtones for iPhone". After doing this you can copy and paste the AAC file you just created on iTunes to this folder (or any location you decide). 
6.Next, what you need to do is change the extension of the file. You need to right click on the file within the folder and select Rename. After you need to change the extension from .m4a to .m4r. The extension .m4r is the one use for ringtones. 
7.After changing the extension you will received the following Pop Up, you need to click in YES to continue with the changes. 
8.Now, you need to go to Ringtones Library in iTunes:
9.Once you are in the Ringtones Library you will need to import your new ringtone. The easiest way to do this is to import the whole folder:
10.On the new windows browse for the folder
11.Great you just added the ringtones you created to you iTunes. Now, you only need to sync your iPhone with iTunes.
