When I’m using my Nokia N-95 or any other phone, cool ring tones is a must. I would say on every month I will change the ring tones.
It could be Malay or English ring tones. Well most of the time it will be English ringtones heheheh.
Iphone is a bit tricky when choosing the Ringtones. It can’t just select from the mp3 collection same like Nokia’s phone. This is because it use .m4r format.
Well here is a little guide on how to make your own ringtones using just Itunes. Simple and of cause it’s FREE!!!
- Open the iTunes (currently I’m using ver 8.0.2)
- Choose the song (mp3/AAC) you would like to turn into a ringtone.
- Right click on the song and choose get info
- Choose the “Option” tab
- Check both the “Start Time” and “End Time” boxes
- Specify what time interval you would like to use as your ringtones clip (I would suggest 30secs this work best)
- Click on “OK” button
- You have to ensure the song you had choose is still highlighted
- Click on “Advanced” menu
- Choose “Create aac version”
- Now this will crate a duplicate copy of the song that you’ve choose just now and it will appear in iTunes. It the same filename but it has shorter time frame of cause
- Drag this duplicate song to your Desktop or anywhere that you want to save it. Once done you may delete the one in iTunes
- Go back to your Desktop or the folder that you’ve copied the duplicate file. Rename the file with the “.m4r” file extension
- Drag this file over the iTunes Library.
- Ok the last step is to Sync your iPhone with your new iPhone ringtones!!!!
Wasn’t this is simple? The con about iPhone is that it could only play rintones for about 40sec. I’ve tried to Sync m4r file which had longer than 40sec but failed L
