Hi Folks,

There are 3 ways to get ringtones on your iPhone.

2. Create custom ringtones throurh iTunes.
3. Create custom ringtones through Audiko.

This article is for those who loves to have free custom ringtones on their iPhone,









2. Create custom ringtones throurh iTunes.

Go to iTunes
Select the song you want to convert as ringtone.
Right click on the song name and select “Get Info”
















Proceed to the “Options” tab and check the boxes for “Start Time” and “Stop Time”
















Figure out which section of the song you’d like to use as the ringtone. Then enter the appropriate starting and ending time for it. Click OK when done

NOTE: An iPhone ringtone can be up to 40 seconds in length.

Once you are back on the iTunes Library screen, right click on the song again and select “Convert Selection to AAC.” This will re-encode the selected portion of the song.















NOTE: If you can’t find the “Convert Selection to AAC” menu, go to your PREFERENCS — ADVANCED — IMPORTING and select “AAC Encoder” under the “Import Using” drop down menu.

To avoid clutter, it is recommended that you delete the newly converted song from your iTunes Library. To do this, simply right click on the new song, select “Delete”, confirm removal but be sure to “Keep File” instead of moving it to the recycle bin.








The last thing that we need to do now is to locate your newly created song in your iTunes Music folder and rename the file extension to a ringtone format.

Format is m4r
Ex: If file name is mysong.mp3 then rename it to mysong.m4r
