SO, HOW TO MAKE AN IPHONE RING TONE itunes 8 only
this is also a trick that is used on songs without DRM protection. So these would be songs off of cd's that you ripped, or acquired through a friend *cough*
-first you have scrounge your library for that epic song you want
-next, right click on the song and click get info
-search through the tabs until you find the one where you can change your songs starting and ending time
-ringtones can only be 40 seconds or less. so for my epic metallica intro, i checked the box on starting time and left it at zero. Then I checked the box for ending time, and set it at 0:40.
-you can close that box now that your times are set
-next right click on the song, and select convert to AAC. You will see a duplicate file made of the same name, but only 40 seconds long.
-Now go back to your original song and uncheck those timing boxes, you don't want your song stuck on that guitar solo do u?? ;)
-Now drag your duplicate song from your itunes --> onto your desktop, and delete it from your library
-Now change the extension of your duplicate to .m4r ... cuz right now it should be like .m4* something.
-once you've change the extension, go ahead and drag the ringtone back to your library.
- When you drag it over, you'll see that library is highlighted, and once you drop the ringtone in your library it will autmatically show in your ringtones folder.
- Now make sure you have your iphone set to sync ringtones, and sync away.
Hope this helped at least one person out there, cuz i know this is something i've wanted to do for the longest time. If anyone has a problem, lemme know and we can figure it out ;)
