Anyone know of a free program for OS X. Tried using iMovie 09 but found that too difficult.

Open iTunes.
Listen to your chosen track & make note of the 30 second section you wish to use as a ringtone.
Right-click (or whatever the equivalent is on a Mac) on the track within iTunes , select "Get Info".
Select the "Start Time" & "Stop Time", & then select "OK".
Go to "Advanced" (top menu in iTunes), & select "Create AAC Version".
iTunes will then create an AAC version of your 30 second selection, & add it to your library.
Make note of where the file is, & delete the track from your library (but choose to keep the file).
Find the file, & rename the extension from ".m4a" to ".m4r".
Move the file to wherever you want (I have a "Ringtones" folder within my "iTunes" folder).
Add the file to your iTunes Library. iTunes will now see it as a Ringtone.
Go back to the original track in your iTunes, & get rid of the time selection.
If the track has DRM on it, one way to remove the DRM is to burn it to a CD, & then rip it back off of the CD.
