I think a good search on these forums will do wanders.

Or maybe Google?

It's to do with changing m4a to m4r etc etc. Just search a few keywords.
 
its very simple... assuming you did not buy the track from itunes... anyway;

1. choose the part of the song you want (right click, get info, options) you can select a maximum of 30 seconds for your ringtone.

2. right click on the song you have just 'shortened' and convert to AAC

3. go to your itunes music folder and change the filetype from .m4a to .m4r

4. copy your new ringtone to the ringtone folder in the itunes music library, if its not there then just make it...

5. whilst still in the ringtone folder double click to open the ringtone and it should play and come up in the ringtone section in itunes

6. remove the shortening from your original song from hence the tunage came

7. enjoyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Audiko has been a nice find in my opinion ... lots of stuff there already to choose from, and you can upload any of your own MP3s to use their web-based tool ...

Only thing I will say is that the site is sometimes unavailable, but the price is right (in other words, FREE), so I can't complain too much.

Unless of course the OP doesn't run Windows. Good advice though, for windowsrumours.com.

My mistake - I didn't realize everyone here only runs on a Mac. Jus' trying to help is all.

Should I cancel my account? I only have an iPhone, after all.

You could just send us your iphone until you get a Mac. We will hold it ransom for you! :p
 
Aaaahhh!

Can anyone suggest why this won't work. Using a PC with Vista.

Followed all of Nathans89's steps with the song. It's there as a .m4r file and when I go to the info for that file, it shows as being a ringtone.

I then went to preferences in Itunes and checked the "Ringtones" box so that the folder appears, but it won't let me add the ringtone to that folder.
 
if you have a mac and ilife 08, use garageband. Import your song>choose 40 secs or less> then in menu forget which one>click export to itunes as a ringtone.
 
ok

Making progress!

I have now managed to get the ringtone into the Ringtones folder - the trick is to put it on the desktop, delete it from iTunes, then open it from the desktop.

And, it's showing now in the ringtones on the iPhone when I look at the folder list in iTunes with the iPhone connected. But, it doesn't show in the list of possible ringtones under settings, sounds.

Any suggestions for that?
 
Wow, i can't believe some of you still do all of this...

Just go to www.audiko.net, search for your song and it could be made already, if not just upload it and crop it.


Then download it and put it in iTunes.

Remember to make it for 30 seconds or less.

Done.
