Want to have custom ringtones for your iPhones? Tried all methods and failed? want a clear & concise solution? Well, then, you have come to the right place! Just follow the step-by-step guide below, and you will be converting your favorite songs into ringtones in a matter of minutes (5-10 minutes, tops–depending on the media you converting from).

1. In iTunes, select the file you want to turn into a ringtone & right click on it, and select “Convert to AAC”
   1. Wait for it to finish the conversion process
2. Right click on the converted file and select “Get Info”.
3. Specify the “Start Time” and “End Time”, bearing in mind that the ringtone cannot exceed 30 Seconds.
   1. Depending on which version of iTunes you have, the placement of these two input boxes may differ… just navigate different tabs until you see a place where you can specify the aforementioned input parameters
4. Right click on the AAC file again (same file you right-clicked in Step 2) and turn it into AAC again.
5. Right click on the newly created AAC file and copy it.
   1. Minimize everything, go to the desktop, and right click and select “Paste”.
6. Rename the EXTENTION (characters that appear after the “.”) FROM m4a to m4r
   1. r in m4r stands for ringtones
7. Lastly, drag the file into the ringtones folder of your iTunes and Sync it with your iPhone!

Please note: This method is not tested for older (or 1^st gen. iPhones). Furthermore, the author takes no responsibilities for what you do to your iPhones, as a result of these steps. Use the step-by-step at your own risk. Also, synchronizing your iPhone with an empty library has caused many users to lose their collection on their devices; so as a general Rule of Thumb, ALWAYS be in the habit of backing up your device!

Hope this has helped you! -RushiKumar
