Finally . . . iPhone ringtones and 'white list'

I've finally figured out how to craft and load custom ringtones on my corporate iPhone:

• personal (wife) - dog bark (her pets), vibrate
• contact list (corporate) - 'Whip It' Devo, vibrate
• all others - 'On the turning away' Pink Floyd, faint, no vibrate

An iPhone 4, the 'free' instructions left a lot to be desired. But the overall flow:

1. Select the clip from the music - I'm using Quicktime
2. Drop the clip into iTunes music to forward to iPhone
3. Use a 'free' clip generator to make the "*.m4r" file.
4. E-mail it back to iTunes Mac
5. Copy in "Library" for 'Tones'
6. Copy from Library/Tones to the iPhone/Tones
7. Sync

More complex than I would have thought, it works and I can now build up my ringtone library. Candidate tunes:

• Wife
  • Simply Irresistible
  • She Bop
  • Something Wild
  • Love is a Rose
  • Girl U Want
  • Girls Just Want to Have Fun
• Work
  • Don't Bring Me Down
  • Working in A Coal Mine
  • Shiny Happy People
  • With A Little Help From My Friends
  • Monday, Monday
• Telemarketers and scum
  • Big Clown Pants
  • Freedom of Choice
  • Helter Skelter
  • Telephone Line
  • W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
  • Blowin' In The Wind
  • I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better
  • Is There Anybody Out There?
  • You're No Good

If we could just set the voice mail, greeting message as a function of incoming phone number . . . telemarketers would get the maximum duration message. Others something more appropriate.
