Well, first, if you've ripped the track(s) to wav files, that's only the
first step. If only for size benefits, you want to convert the wav files
to mp3 files. Then you want to cut them to 30 seconds or less -- that's
about the length of time before the call gets sent to voicemail.

Now for the bad news. Since the Samsung SCH-i730 is Verizon only, your
phone has to be the Motorola i730. Navigating to Motorola's iden site &
going to the phone specs, unless I missed it, there is no mention of the
i730 using anything but midi files for ringtones. So, unless there is
something that will create midis from wav files, what you have isn't even
the beginning of something usable on your phone.
