Tired of having the same ol' standard ringtones for your iPhone? Tired of having to pay for ringtones with limited selections? Well check this out: Okay this may sound like it's hard but it's really really easy and it'll save you a butt-load of money! Here are the steps;
1. Pick a song you want as your ringtone *(you can't use a song with the DRM or whatever it's called, so that means is that you can't use a song you bought from iTunes. But you can use songs you've ripped of mp3's you've Legally* downloaded).
2. Pick any portion of the song you want but remember it can't be longer than 40 seconds. Write down when that portion starts and when it ends.
3. Highlight that song and right-click to the "get info" tabb. Then go to the options tab in that same window and check the boxes that say start and end times. Here is where you use the times you've written down.
4. Click okay, then make sure that same song is highlighted and then go the advanced tab up top. Click on the "Create AAC version." (This creates the same song but it's only as long as the length you set it to).
5. Find the new version of your song and drag it to your desktop. Go back and delete the ACC version of your song because you won't need it anymore and change the start and end settings back to normal of the original song.
6. rename the extension from "songname.m4a" to "songname.m4r" (all your doing is just changing the last letter from a to r). Your computer may say "are you sure" YEAH YOU'RE SURE!
7. Almost done, okay find your iTunes library and go look through your music library for a "Ringtone" folder (it'll be same fold where you'll find the artists name folders). and just drag your file in the ringtones folder.
8. Open up iTunes and go to file, click on add to library and look for the ringtones folder and add the new item, and PRESTO!!! You have yourself a brand new Ringtone for your iPhone

  • i have made a third and hopefully the final video to clear up any confusion, as always it's done live, mainly after I've had a few but informative none-the-less! It should be posted very soon (30 minutes or less).

    Best of luck.

  • your music library is rather nice matey :) could do with some variations but i defo approve of everything ive seen so far :P :D XD

  • @cocknocker6 Thanks mate, sounds like you have good taste! Ohh do you have any suggestions for something I could listen to or check out. I'm always exploring new tunes!

  • Okay, just to clear some things up. If you do not have a "Ringtones" folder where I showed it should be all you have to do is create a folder named "Ringtones." Then when you go to add to library, just search for that folder and BAM! there will now be a Ringtone icon next to the other icon i.e. Mucis, Movies, Podcasts, and etc. Hope this clears up some confusion. Cheers mates?
