How To Make Free Ringtones For Your iPhone
How To Make Free Ringtones For Your iPhone
The simple ringtone hack that was discovered almost three years back still seems to work with the latest version of iTunes. It is based on the fact that iTunes differentiates a song file and a ringtone by the file extension. While we all know that the song file extension was...

great stuff!
-
The ringtone can be 40 seconds.
-
lol i have always (4years) cut the song i want on garageband, exported (share) to iTunes as a ringtone and sync it with the iPhone, that has always worked for me
-
install AnyRing app from following repo:
add http://cydia.myrepospace.com/Batista/ to your Cydia Sources
it rocks!
-
yeah the tone can be 40 seconds, but your phone only rings for 17 seconds, so 20 seconds will be fine. Also iphone hacks is getting desperate for stories lol I've know about this since the 2.x.x days
-
actually choosing your own song, uploading it, editing it, downloading, and then syncing is about 3 steps more than this method
-
I prefer unlimited ringtones if you have a jailbroken iPhone 4 or 3G.it's free and you can create ringtones using it's other app mytones. after u download the ringers or create them just sync to pc thru a USB software such as diskaid to find the ringers and you're good
-
well i have been doing this method for like 2 years now and i can do it in under 5 seconds
-
Audiko.net
Done. -
is the songs that i can convert to ringtone for iphone only the song that have to be buy from apple?
-
Here's why this is better than any app that makes ringtones for you: If you ever get unjailbroken, you lose those ringtones (at least until you can jailbreak again). And then if you have that ringtone assigned to a contact, when they call you don't hear anything and the phone doesn't even want to answer the call right away.
I've used several such apps, but since discovering the method in this article, I've been replacing them with 'real' ringtones that won't rely on having a particular app or being jailbroken.

No, works with any song that is not protected (some songs from iTunes are, not all).
-
Potentially less secure. Anytime a website offers something useful for free, one has to wonder why, (other than for advertising purposes). Are the sites secure? Do the downloaded files have any trojans, is my privacy protected?
-
I found anyring to be far to limited when I demoed it. The time only editing only going to the second didn't allow for accurate editting of the sections I wanted. The itunes method is very easy and much more accurate (to the 1/100 of a sec.).
-
best site is audiko.net. upload, crop, download as iphone ringtone, and sync. so easy, so fast. uses youtube links too. REALLY GREAT if good upload speed.
-
Everything went fine until I right clicked on the song on my desktop...I have no "get info" section. I am unable to change it from "m4a" to "m4r", per instructions. What do I do now to finish? I tried this on several songs with the same result.
-
Most likely your computer's default setting is hiding the file extensions. You need to click the "Start" icon and enter "Folder Options" in the search area and select it. From there, click "View" and page down and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types." Click "Apply." You will now be able to change the file extension. I had to do this myself, and it works like a charm.
-
No, the 'get info' is within iTunes, not on your desktop.

What About An SMS Tone Maker?
-
I use iRinger. It works on all version of Windows 32 and 64 bit. It's free but will nag you with some ads that aren't too terrible. I denied it access to the internet via firewall and I no longer see those ads. It will let you trim a song to length, convert it and import it into iTunes. Then just sync and it's done.
-
I just came across this blog and found it very interesting indeed.Thanks for sharing.
-
'get info' is in iTunes, but you cant change the file extension there. If you right click on the actual file in windows you can click rename, or properties and change the file extension, after doing what hayes129 said.
-
I cant get it to work anymore with version 9.2.1 because there is no importing in advanced to change to ACC and only create lossless version with the right click menu
-
For you mac users that upgraded to 9.2.1 or less and don't show "create ACC version" in the drop down menu follow instructions
1. Open the iTunes Preferences window
2. In the “General” tab there’s a pane that says “When you insert a CD” that has a pulldown menu to the right and a button that reads “Import Settings”
3. Click “Import Settings”
4. A window will open with a pulldown menu next to a title that says “Import Using”
5. Click the pulldown menu and choose “AAC Encoder” from the list.
6. Click “OK” once this setting is changed and then click “OK” again to exit the Preferences.Now when you right click on the song you’re trying to convert you should have the option to “Create an AAC Version”
Hope this helps guys.

So I'm guessing this doesn't work with iTunes 10 right?!
-
Agreed, also has experience where I use cut mp3s that are 39 seconds long with no problem, but anything over 40, get ready to scrap that tone.
-
I am creating AAC file using mediaconverter, and change file extension to M4R.
and, I am copy this file into RingTone folder using SSH. -
Hi I followed each steps but at desktop and right click on the song "Properties" can not find the name & extension section so can not change .m4a to .m4r? I also tried using rename & changed the extension but no extension of .m4a found?

Amazing ringtone tip!!!
I got my iphone today and just put 2 new ringers on in under 5 minutes (be sure to tell it to remember the changes before clicking ok).
My friend got an iphone about a week ago and bought an expensive app that involves alot of uploading, downloading, editing, syncing. Poor bugger haha.This is great.
Thanks guys. -
I use phonezoo.com, it takes me about 1 min to download from my own files and they proved a "slider" bar to have the song stop and start where you want it, you can also record your own voice and use it as a ringtone, it is so easy, no converting or saving it in places on your desktop
