ring tones

Has anyone used IphoneRingTone maker? Thoughts?

I use it. It works very well, though it crashes every now and then. I never buy ringtones from Apple anymore and use this all the time.

Thanks! I'm off to purchase.

Just curious. Why would you use this when you have GarageBand? Does it do more?

I think iPhoneRingtoneMaker allows you to make ringtones using songs purchased through iTunes whereas GarageBand does not. I'm not 100% certain though as I don't use iRM.

Might be a little more trouble, but what I do is burn the song to a cd-rw. After that, you can import it into GarageBand and make your ringtone. Of course now, with so much being dram free in iTunes, it is becoming less of a problem.

Ah yeah that does work. If I want to make a ringtone with an iTunes downloaded song I'll usually just download the same song elsewhere and make a ringtone with it. I still don't see the point of paying $0.99 to make a ringtone with music I already purchased.

Exactly, and after yesterday isn't it $1.29? Insane.

I think it's more out of habit. On my last Mac that I had when I first got the iPhone, I had uninstalled GarageBand when I got it since I didn't have a use for it. I didn't want to go and install it and just started using ringtone makers like iToner and iPhoneRingtoneMaker. I have Garageband on my new Mac, but I still never use it.
