You can buy a ringtone from Apple.

You can also make a ringtone and add to iTunes.

One easy way to do this is to change a songs start and end times to select the part you want, right click, and select "Convert to AAC". That'll add a new track to your iTunes - drag it to your desktop, rename the extension from .m4a to .m4r, and add back to iTunes.

The garage band method works too if you have a Mac. Drag file into garage band, trim it, export to itunes as ringtone (its actually int he export menu).

Google it, very easy to do.

if i want to use different songs in my iphone's 'ipod' for different contacts, i have to put a copy of each song in the ringtones directory?

Pretty much you can not just select a song from the iPod as the files are the wrong format here is a guide for you
