Ringtone Exploit foiled?

[stekerrod]

Hiya guys,

i was trying to use the thing to get free ringtones (by chopping the song down to 30 seconds or so changing it to .m4r and putting it back into iTunes) and it basically doesnt work anymore! is this something Apple have fixed with 7.6?

has anyone else noticed it? i've done it before for ringtones on the old version of iTunes so it aint as if i aint done it before!

o and i had a quick look to see if anyone else had made a thread on this but couldnt see one!

never mind it's working now! i now feel like a **** - i'll let you figure out the 4 letter word to go there!

No need to use any exploits, use the Apple supported and free method (assuming you have a Mac)....

I was gonna say, it still works with XP. I did one last night.

Mac users, stop screwing around with hacks, exploits, etc.

Garageband makes ringtones now. It's as easy as any other method out there.

Yeah, but this only works if you have the Garageband that comes with iLife 08, correct?

For example, I don't think this will work with the Garageband installed on the Macbook I purchased a year or so ago (iLife 06), and there isn't a free update with this functionality that I can find anywhere . . .

It still works

Make a copy of your audio file in iTunes "Get info"
Make the file shorter that 0:30 and convert to ACC file and pull it to the desktop.
click on the file and go to "Get Into" the file will have a .M4a behind the name. Change it to M4r.
Erase the original files from the iTunes and then put the new file into the Ring tone playlist.

That should work. I hope I explained it clearly

Good question. I don't know.


iLife is $79, and really should be on all Macs, however. That's, of course, opinion.
