stupid question..ringtones.. - iPhone 3G

HBOC · 08-05-2008, 10:05 PM

i just bought my iphone 3G a few days ago and i figured out how to make ringtones in i tunes. Is that the only way? Other than buying ringtones?

I had a sony ericsson and flashed that (took off all that stupid AT&T BS software) and it allowed me to use any mp3 for a ringtone. just wondering if there was an easier way to get ringtones?

If you use a Mac, you can use GarageBand to make the ringtones, then import it into iTunes and sync.

If you can make a ringtone, any ringtone, in iTuens why want to use something else?

I'm guessing he wants to use something that makes it for free.

There are many posts here regarding making ringtones for the iPhone. Just search the forums and you'll find the easiest solution that doesn't require additional software or a particular brand of computer and, best of all, they are FREE.

thanks for the info. I was just wanting to know if there was an easier way than to edit the songs. I am on a PC, unfortunately right now.

Make your own Ring tones!

1. Find a song you want to use as a ringtone.

2. Use whatever program you use to "clip" a section under 30 seconds long.(Audacity is a Freeware Program)

3. Double click the shortened file and it will go into the "Music" section of iTunes and it will start to play.
4. Right click on the file and choose the "Convert to AAC" from the drop down menu.
5. You will now have two of the same files in the iTunes Music Playlist.
6. Right click on one of the two and choose "show in (to locate the file) explorer."
7. Right click on the song with the m4a to m4r extension. You can delete the other one from that folder. If you don't see the file extension then you need to open your Explorer (myComputer) go to tools/folder options/view then go and make sure you have un-checked next to "Hide extentions for known file types".
8. Change the extension from m4a to m4r.
9 Go to iTunes and delete BOTH of the files from the playlist. Just make sure you click on "keep files."
10. Now go back to the folder you have the m4r file and double click it. It should go into the "ringtone folder" of iTunes.
11. Connect your iPhone, click on the "ringtone" tab and the song you need will be on the list. Check the check box and press the apply button lower right
