Free iPhone Ringtones with your iTunes Music in 5 Easy Steps
Aug 12, 2008 Tech News, iPhone
As most of you have probably figured out when you tried to “create ringtone” from a song that you have in your iTunes library, this only works on songs that you have downloaded through iTunes, and it costs money.
But - there is an easier way to make your own ringtone (from any music that is in your iTunes library), and it doesn’t cost anything!
1. While viewing your music library, right click on the song that you want to make a ringtone from, and click on “Get info”.
2. Click on “Options” and in the two start and stop checkbox spots, indicate which portion of the song that you want the ringtone to be (Note: The ringtone can only be 40 seconds, so make sure that your portion of the song is 40 seconds or less), then click “ok”.
3. Right Click on the same song again, and select “Convert to ACC” (if it shows “MP3″, you will need to change your setting in iTunes). This creates a new song directly under the original song.
4. Right click on the newly created song, and select either “Show in Windows explorer” or “Show in Finder” depending on your OS. Now, rename the file to a “.m4r” extension (if your extensions are not showing, change your folder settings to show extensions). KEEP THIS WINDOW OPEN.
5. In iTunes, delete the newly created 40 second version of the song, and then click on the ringtone library. Drag and drop the new ringtone into the ringtone library. Then - sync up your ringtones and you are ready to go!
iPhone on the way!

Today I finally broke down and did it; I went to my local ATT store and ordered a new iPhone 3G. They didn’t have any in stock, so the 8G black version that I ordered should take 7-10 business days to get to me. Looks like I’ll have to trade in my trusty Windows Media Player for iTunes now. I’ll be posting some screenshot of the apps that I install once I get the iPhone, and you can be sure that the WordPress app will be the first one that I install.
