you are everything

Has anyone had any luck making their own ringtones? If so, how? What software, how do you get them onto your phone, etc.

Or are there other good sites I can buy ringtones from? Sites with more of a variety and more obscure bands? That work on a Verizon phone?

I really want Empires ringtones, and Verizon doesn't even have any new Panic! At The Disco. :-(
