Free Custom iPhone Ringtones Using iTunes

Do you have a favourite music track you would like as a ringtone?

Create your own custom ringtones from your iTunes music library (This method only works with songs that are DRM free.)

1. Within your iTunes music library, right click your selected song and select 'get info'

2. Go to the 'options' tab and go down to the 'Start Time' and 'Stop Time' check boxes. Check both boxes and input the time you want your ringer to start/stop. The ringer has to be 30 seconds or less. Click OK when you’re done.

 3. Right click on your newly clipped song and select 'Convert Selection to AAC.' The song will be re-encoded using the start and stop times determined (If your menu item does not read 'Convert Selection to AAC' and reads 'Convert Selection to MP3' (or some other format) please go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing and change the 'Import Using' drop down menu to 'AAC Encoder').
4. After the song is done encoding navigate to your iTunes Music folder, locate your song, and drag it to your desktop. After the song is on your desktop go back to iTunes and delete the clipped version from you iTunes library (It won’t delete it from your desktop, it will only remove it from iTunes).

5. Go back the song on your desktop and right click on your song and chose 'Rename' and change the extension from .m4a to .m4r. If you get the warning below select 'yes'

6. After the extension is changed simply double click on the file to drag it to your iTunes library under the ringtones section. Sync your phone with iTunes and you’re done!

Remember to go back into iTunes and uncheck your custom start and stop times for the original version of your song.

7. Sync your iPhone with iTunes.

8. Browse your contacts, choose a contact and 'edit' scroll down to 'ringtone' and select your new ringtone

Enjoy!!
