How to Create Ringtones for the Motorola Droid

Since it was released in late 2009, the Motorola Droid has become one of the most popular smartphones on the market. Just like all cell phones, it comes with some sounds preloaded that can be selected as ringtones and other notification tones.

But the Droid also allows for a certain amount of customization. The easiest and most popular way to customize the Droid is to create ringtones. Express your personality, or just hear your favorite song every time someone calls you.
