I have been using Wavepad since last 6-7 years! After trying many other software for sound editing, i decided to stick on this magical software.
In fact, i have the whole NCH Software suite. It consists of Wavepad, Sound Recorder, Streaming Software, Blu-Ray, DVD Writer, CD Ripper, Dictate Writer, etc.
Believe me, this software is the best you will find, even for doing petty jobs like making ring tone for your cell phone!

Yep Sharat, Ring tones can be made in a pretty easy way by just cutting the part of the song which u want to set.
