I think it has to be cut to under a minute or so. Mine is like that.

Because the music recording companies have legally defined those things as two different uses, two different mediums, and therefore charge seperately for each one.Other phones/carriers may allow it, but it's not a technical problem - it's just that those companies have secured both types of rights to the files.

It depends on how long the sound sequences are. Typically, a tone must be either :20 or :30 seconds. Try editing it with Audacity:http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Ringtones require a different format than an audio MP3 format. There are software converters on the market that will convert audio MP3 files to a ringtone format.
