Creating And Adding Your Own Ring Tones
You can create and add your own ring tones using ITunes as follows
1Open iTunes.
Notes: If ITunes doesn't open automatically and you need to launch it,
you
can do so from the ITunes link on your desktop just press enter key on
it.
2Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
Notes: Tab over to the list of existing songs or general music within the
music section of ITunes and make your selection.
3Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus
may
be a good place to start.
4Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
5Right-click the song or use the application key to open up the context
menu
and select "Get Info." With the down arrow, pressing enter key to
activate
it.
6 In the more info section, tab key over and hit spacebar and Click the
"Options" tab.
7 In Options tab tab key over to where it asks you to Type in the start
time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the
minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
8 Tab key once more and Type in the end time of your ringtone in the
text
box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 40
seconds
long.
9 Next tab key over to the "OK." Button and press spacebar.
10 For the next step, Right-click or press application key on your song
again and select "Convert Selection to AAC by pressing the enter key."
Notes:Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate
version usually just beneath the original song.
11 Right-click or press the application key on the ringtone and select
"Delete" using the arrow keys followed by the enter key.
12Click or use the spacebar on the "Keep Files" button.
13 In this step we need to locate the file we just created, It's usually
in
your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the
band's
name. It will have an extension of m4a.
Notes: In Windows it might be stored in; c:\users\user name\music\itunes
14Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either
press
the F2 key to rename your file on a windows machine, or press keys,
"control, shift, command + letter M" and select "Get Info" on a Mac.
15Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that
the
change may affect the use of your file.
16Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to
your
ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
17Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones..
