How to create your own ringtones for the Apple iPhone.

1. Select the desired soundtrack/song in iTunes.
2. Right-click on it, click ‘Get info’, ‘Options’.
3. By setting the desired ‘Start’ and ‘End time’ mark the most suitable part of the track. It should not exceed 39 seconds. Click ‘Ok’.
4. In the iTunes Menu Bar select ‘Advanced’ and click ‘Convert Selection to AAC’. This process takes a few secondes and will result in a second track with the same name and the desired length (remember, ringtones need to be shorter than 40 secs).
5. Drag and drop the short track on you desktop. Delete it in iTunes and change back ‘Start’ and ‘End Time’ of the original track.
6. On the desktop, change the file ending from ‘.m4a’ to ‘.m4r’ (<em>r</em> as in ringtone). Aprove the change if Finder/Windows bugs you. Maybe Windows hides the file endings, you need to show them via changing ‘Extras’, ‘folder settings’ or something (sorry, I am not on Windows).
7. Move the renamed file, something like ‘myrington.m4r’ back into iTunes. If you have enabled the ‘Ringtones’ category in your library you will immediately see your new ringtone.
8. Set up syncing your ringtones with your iPhone and sync.
9. On the iPhone select your new ringtone in ‘Settings’, ‘Sounds’ and guess what: ‘Ringtones’. Enjoy!
