Ringtone Creation

I'm not sure if this is the correct group for this question, if not please point me to one that might be better. I've just upgraded to Cingular GSM and a newer phone (LG CG300). Now ringtones have become an option.

I have heard ringtones can be created from midi files. I found a program that will convert between midi and other formats. According to my phone's manual, it support iMelody.

I have a couple of questions related to creating ringtones:

1) How big a file should I be looking at? One midi I was going to convert is 10k and when converted to iMelody it is 8k. Is that too large?

2) How do I get the ringtone on to the phone? I can send SMS messages but they are limited to a couple of hundred characters.

Thanks for any information,

Steve
