How to make your ringtone for the Iphone!

here’s something I wrote on another site for making ringtones for your iphone:

using windows:

go to itunes and find the file you’d like as a ringtone. right click file > get info > options. find a part of the song you like, approx. 25-35 seconds or so and put in the time in: start time and end time. press ok and right click again > convert to AAC.

go to your music folder (it shoulld be there) and find the itunes folder. Go to itunes music and you’ll have a file there. Rename the file from YOURFILENAME.m4a to YOURFILENAME.m4r. If it doesn’t work and a message doesn’t pop out saying that you’re changing the file extension, then:

Control panel > Appearance and themes > folder options > view > uncheck hide extensions for known types

rename file from: FILENAME.m4a to FILENAME.m4r

double click file and it should pop up in the ringtones section. sync your iphone and it should work.

VOILA~

this does indeed work, I have done a few now myself...I had a heck of a time getting it to let me change the file extention, I had to goto control panel, folder options, and unclick "hide file extentions for known file types", then I was able to change file type and you should get a pop up asking if you are sure you want to change it, click yes, and it will change from MP4 to ring, double click on it and it will open in Itunes, and sync....Make sure that you have "sync ringtones" checked in your ringtones tab, these are a few of the things that I had trouble with and now working well....good luck and let me know if I can help anymore....
