I tried making a ring tone by uploading a song from my local drive and have explained, in detail, the process that needs to be followed.

Step One: Click on the upload button and select a song from your computer to upload. [You may want to enter a URL in case you want to select a song hosted somewhere online or want to extract the audio from a Youtube Video :)]
