Creative Ringtone TipsWhat makes a great-sounding ringtone? We certainly agree that it comes down to personal preference.

Here's an idea.  Did you ever try to drag and drop an audio file over the Xingtone application.  If you do, it will open the file.  That could be really helpful if you have room on your screen for the application and an explorer window that shows all of your files.
