Converting your Favorite Song into your iPhone Ringtone
Yes, now you too can play your favorite songs as ringtones for your iPhone. The process is a little bit complicated but nothing that an average iPhone user cannot handle. What's more, you don't have to pay anything to get these ringtones. That's probably the best news you've heard in a long time, I reckon!
If you have a good number of songs in your music library you can take your favourite songs and convert them into ringtones for your iPhone as long as they don't fall under the DRM category. The DRM stands for Digital Rights Management. Songs that don't come under DRM can be converted into ringtones with the help of iTunes and just like that, your iPhone will have cool songs of your choice playing from it like you've always wanted.
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.
Once you've done that, continue by selecting the 'Options' tab and then enter the time that the desired portion of the clips starts at, for example, the part you like could start at 1:50 viz. 1 minute and 50 seconds. After you've entered the start time, enter the end time in the same manner and ensure that it does not exceed 40 seconds. That done, you must then right click on the cong and choose the 'Convert selection to AAC' option; iTunes will then create a duplicate of your ringtone, you must then delete the original and retain the duplicate.
Now you can find the duplicate on your iTunes, though you may have to use the following path Music- iTunes- iTunes Music, if you pay attention you'll see that it as an extension of 'm4a' on it. Just replace that extension 'm4a' with 'm4r' which is the ringtone format for your iPhone. That's all it takes! Double click on the ringtone which will then automatically be added to your ringtones folder in your iTunes music library by iTunes itself.
Now all you have to do is to connect your iPhone to iTunes and transfer the ringtones. Voila! Do remember to do this only with songs that do not fall under Digital Rights Managements. Otherwise, it can be an illegal activity such as piracy. - 23812
