Well, there are two places you can download a customizer from. ToneThis or Xingtone. I used ToneThis only because it seemed to work for me, but Xingtone seems to be popular too. There are pros and cons to both sites though.

ToneThis Pros
- Easy to use
- Works most of the time when your internet connection allows it to, hehe
- Only $17.99 one time fee (yes, you must pay unfortunately)
- Able to download custom wallpaper images for your phone too
- Supports most of the current and some old phone models and updates every few weeks (I think)
- Free one download

Cons
- Cannot edit just by popping in a CD. You must download the song onto Windows Media Player (or the equivalent) as an MP3 format, then you can edit from there.
- Editing can be a bit faulty.
- No editing/customizing options such as Bass or Tempo alterations. When you download the song onto your computer, you use the song as is.
- Possible charges on your phone's bill (depending on your carrier service)

Xingtone Pros
- Able to use songs directly from CDs and other formats on your computer.
- Complete customization, able to alter Speed, Fade In/Fade Out, etc.
- Somewhat easy to use
- Very organized interface
- Supports most of the current and some old phone models
- Free one download

Cons
- $19.99 one time fee(not too bad, but still kinda pricey depending how much dough you have)
- Possible charges on your phone's bill (depending on carrier's service)
- Possibility of not working (I tried the free trial and nada )
- Not possible to download custom images

There you have it. They're pretty much similar but it's just up to you to decide which you like best or fits your needs more. Hope this helps.
