So, is this free? I couldn't find anything about paying for this service.

Because I read recently (It was probably in  Dr. Dobbs, but maybe also in 
Embedded Systems Programming) an editorial suggesting  exactly such a 
business opportunity, that someone should start a business selling 
personalized, one-off ringtones  -  I think that Micheal Swaine wrote it it 
could easily have been someone else, but I don't have the issue in front me. 
The gist was that the whole idea of selling ringtones was such an anomaly, 
because typically a short, crappy low-resolution ringtone costs more than 
downloading a full mp3 song.
