Ringtones & itunes

[Bulldog VII]

Well I thought I would have a crack at creating a ringtone & guess what it doesn't appear to be supported in the UK.

If this is the case then I seriously unimpressed with apple.

I have checked my version of itunes & it's 7.5 which is the most up to date

Anyone have any suggestions??

If you are on a Mac just convert any M4A track to M4R. Then trim it to the 30 seconds you want (I use quicktime to do this), then add it to iTunes. Done.

Thanks for your help

It looks like we will have to wait in the UK

How do I conver an MP4 to the other one you said?

Wow, I think I might have to make a tutorial. Guys, download a program named Audacity(music editing software, free) then download some attachment called something Lame. Install it, load your desired ringtone into that program, edit it away, save it as an mp3, but to do that, you need to have Lame installed. Then sync it onto your phone as a song, then using SendSong, send it to your ringtones, and now you have yourself a ringtone. Even if you uninstall SendSong, everything still works.

I can confirm that this doesn't work in 1.1.2 (UK). You can add a .m4r file to iTunes, it will show in 'Ringtones' and in the iPhone 'Ringtones' tab, but when you sync the ringtone doesn't appear in the Ringtone settings on iPhone.

Erm - it's working for me? I've got 5 ringtones that I've cut down on there now.

Works fine on my standard UK phone too! Got my Harry Potter theme working without any issue!

Just tried again with a different sample, seems to work fine now!

The ability to use any .m4r music file as a ringtone is specific to the iPhone 1.1.2 firmware and not iTunes 7.5.

If you attempt to do this in iTunes 7.5 with the 1.1.1 iPhone firmware, the ringtone will appear in iTunes, but you will receive a "file not supported by iPhone" error when you attempt to sync.

If you wish to remain on 1.1.1, you need iToner.

And right now only the European edition of 1.1.2 is confirmed to work. It remains to be seen if the US edition of 1.1.2 will allow custom ringtones.
