I was wanting to get the music from pinballs for my phone. Not pinball sounds but the actual music, like BK2000 for example. Is there a website I can find some.

Try Youtube. Some folks have uploaded audio clips which you can convert to mp3 format. I would also imagine there are some smart folks on here that can instruct you on how to play the sound ROMs directly on your computer. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.

Love the idea of pinball ringtones! Here's hoping that BD or another computer savvy Pinsider can tell us how to do this.

I was able to get some sounds out of the WH20 ROMs using Pinmame but it was kinda a pain in the butt. Unfortunately my installation of Parallels has since been corrupted so I can't run Pinmame or Virtual Pinball on my Mac anymore or I'd provide more detail. IIRC though, Pinmame sends the output of the audio ROM to an MP3 file. From there you can convert it however you like. The instructions I found were somewhere on the vpforums site.

You asked for it - here it is, oh wait nobody asked for it but anyway - TXSector iPhone ringtone: http://www.evolvestudios.com/TXsector/txsector.m4r
Im thinking of building a site and converting a bunch of awesome pinball music into ringtones for both iPHone and Android - you think the copyright people would quickly put an end to it? even if it was all free?

I know williams is sue happy usually, I'd be careful. I suppose the best thing to do is use something like soundcloud.
You can go into both future pinball and visual pinball, go to sound manager and export files. Problem with newer machines (because of interrupts), it's often tracks that are played like sheet music, so you might be better off just playing a game in an emulator and record it.

you can download a youtube grabber to convert to mp3/wav. I guess you will probably need to download a separate program to edit and convert to a ringtone format.
You could also try this:

Put in the youtube URL, it spits out an mp3 of the audio for you to download.
