Free and Customised Ringtones on iPhone

This shows you how to use your existing music in your ITunes library to create ringtones on your iphone FOR FREE!

This should work for music that was downloaded from itunes or obtained from other sources (CD, or obtained from another download source)

You can set the time to anywhere in the song you want, however in this example i've just shown 0:00 to 0:30 seconds in that song.

The duration of the ringtone that you are going to create must be 30 seconds or less otherwise it will not work.

The trick is getting the song to 30 seconds or less, creating a copy of it while it's 30 secs or less and then reformatting it by editing the name from (music_name.m4a) to (music_name.m4r) A means audio and R means ringtone.

Please note that the audio quality will most likely be reduced as AAC isn't a great file type compared to mp3 etc and m4r may be bad itself (but required!), however i believe that the file has to be small enough in memory and small enough in length to be able to be accepted as a ringtone. However, i have not tried if you can just convert a file to .m4r and add it to the ringtones list

This should work for MACs as well as PCs, as you're cutting a song down and then only converting an audio file type really speaking.

So far this works with Version 3.1.3 on the iPhone and iTunes version 9.0.3.15 - (Updated to reflect iTunes version 9.10.79) - What you have to do is go to "Advanced" in the options at the top of iTunes and select Create AAC version there.

If you comment and say that it doesn't work on X version i'll update the description to reflect it and maybe create a new vid if there's another way around this :)

You just need to go into the Advanced tab at the top of iTunes and then select Convert to AAC. Everything else is the same (iTunes version 9.10.79)

You can't do it with the new itunes :(

P.S You DO NOT need to Jailbreak your iPhone :)
