Converting your Favorite Song into your iPhone Ringtone
Your favourite songs can now be played on your iPhone as ringtones. Though the process is a little complicated its nothing that an average iPhone user cannot master. The best part is that it's all for free. That's right, not a penny to pay for it.
If you have plenty of songs in your music library, you can easily get them converted into ringtones for your iPhone, particularly if these songs fall into the non DRM category which means that they are not under Digital Rights Management. For such songs, you can get them converted into ringtones with the help of iTunes and soon your iPhone will be playing all those lovely songs that you've always fancied.
The first step would be to launch iTunes on your computer. This process is suitable for other MAC users as well as Windows PC users. Now pick the song you'd like as your ringtone and then select the specific part that you'd like to hear play. Then you make a note of that portion of the track from where it begins and ends, once you do that, right click on the cong and select the 'Get Info' option.
Continue the process by clicking on the 'Options' tab and then enter the time when the particular clip starts, for example, your favorite bit could start at 1:50, i.e. 1 minute, 50 seconds. Then, enter the end time of the ringtone, and make sure that it does not exceed 40 seconds. Once again, right click on your song and choose 'Convert selection to AAC'. iTunes will create a duplicate of your ringtone. Retain the duplicate and delete the original.
Find the duplicate on iTunes and you might probably have to follow the path: Music- iTunes- iTunes Music and note that it will have the extension 'm4a'. Simply replace the m4a extension with m4r which is the ringtone format for the iPhone. That's it! Now all you have to do is to double click the ringtone after which iTunes will automatically add the ringtone to your ringtones folder in iTunes Music library.
Take your iPhone now and connect it to iTunes and transfer the ringtones! But keep in mind that the songs do not fall under Digital Rights Managements, or you'll be taking part in in some illegal activity like piracy. - 23806
