Do both with itunes. Much nicer interface than Audacity.

I made my own ringtones, snipping the sound that I wanted out of an mp3
file using itunes, and then transferring them to Nokia and Motorola phones
as a bluetooth file download.

Your phone rings for about 21 seconds before voicemail, so you don't need
mp3 files any larger

iTunes, Edit, Preferences, Importing, Import Settings mp3 128kbps.

Play the song you want, and locate the part you want to be the ringtone
(IE: 00:30.00 to 00:51.00) and then Command-I to get info on the song.

Under the Options tab in the Get Info menu, check both start and stop time
and enter the start and stop times for the ringtone section (i.e. Start
time 00:30.00 End Time 00:51.00).

You may want to play it once to make sure it's well cropped.
Select the song in your library and go to
Advanced -> Convert Selection to MP3.

It will convert ONLY the portion of the song that you selected to a new,
cropped MP3 file. I renamed mine to the same title - ringtone.
Right click, "Show in Windows Explorer".

Drag that the the "Music Files" folder on the phone.
