Ever since I’ve a had a mobile phone that supported use of mp3s as ringtones, I’ve been making my own. When I got my iPhone, I was initially disappointed that, seemingly, the only way to do this was via the iTunes Store which involved paying for the ringtone – not something I’ve been accustomed to. I did some research and figured out that, since my phone was jailbreaked, it was possible to access the file system and add new ringtones that way but it was a convoluted process.

Then, quite by accident, I hit on another solution.
