What tune store? iTunes? You need to use a computer to create the ringtone. Or find the steps to make it using garage band.
You can’t just simply add ringtones on an iPhone like android devices.

Songs aren't recognized as ringtones in the iTunes Store. He can't see a ringtone because he did't download one. He will have to download a ringtone of the song from the store, or create one from the song he downloaded.
My god Apple I hate you! So I just purchased a song and now I cant use it? I find this even scammy from Apple since they let this look in the settings as you just have to buy a song in their Store and then use it. There is no info that there is a seperation between ringtones and ordinary songs.
Then how I make a ringtone out of it? i have an Mac with Garage band on it.

A long time ago I used an app on my Android device that let me download any song I wanted then cut any piece of the song and use it as a ringtone or text alert. I know something like this will probably not exist for iPhone but is there any way to get a song (without actually buying one from any digital store) and cut the part I want then transfer it to iTunes? I have a subscription to Amazon Music so I'm not against paying for music however, I don't want to buy a song just to cut a clip of it to use as a ringtone or text alert. I know Windows PC's can be much less restrictive to accomplish something like this so any advice anyone has on websites or apps for Windows that I can use to accomplish this would be appreciated.
