I finally saw this post in everythingicafe after being exhausted for more than 3 nights hunting over applications to help me with my newly bought iphone. Now I’m enjoying my customized ringtones……Check it out!
Using only itunes!!! Follow my easy instructions, btw this is for pc users only!
You may want to have this page open while your creating your own...
1. Open control panel on windows, (usually its under the start menu)
2. Switch to classic view and select folder options
3. Click the view tab and uncheck the box that says "Hide extensions for known file types."
4. Opening iTunes, select the song you would like to use, right click/get info and select the options tab to find the start/end times
5. Change the start and end times to make a 30 second portion of the song. And then play the song to make sure that's the portion you want for a ringtone.
6. Right click on the song and convert to AAC
7. Drag the new 30 sec long song to your desktop (I used the ringtone folder in iTunes instead because I didn't want to clutter my desktop)and rename .m4a to .m4r (if you use the desktop like iRobert suggested it would have to stay there in order to be located, thats why I changed it to the ringtones folder. I would suggest doing it this way, so you can keep your iTunes in order.)
8. Make sure you delete the 30 second song out of your music library... B4 continuing
9. Doubleclick the new .m4r file on ur desktop 100% free ringtone! Now sync your phone...
10. Go back to the original song, right click, get info, change the song length back to it original length. If you dont do this your song will only be 30 seconds long next time you listen to it.
