Just to clarify, I have a Chocolate and I use an aftermarket cable with BitPim, and BitPim will reencode and help me to cut mp3s to a short enough length for ringtones, and then sends it to it as an mp3. Haven't had any problems with it yet.
You definitely need to download software in order to put the ringtones on your phone. The Music Essentials Kit will not do it.
