Using own ringtones on iPhone 3g?

[bigpoppa81]

I'm wanting to use some songs in my library to have as ringtones, I've seen the guides on the net but is there a easier way to do this?

Yeah here

http://audiko.net/

Search for the song you want and download the iPhone version to your computer then add it to iTunes. It'll automatically be listed as a Ringtone. Sync this to your iPhone.

Iringer is great wee tool for it.

Just select the audio then it gives 30 seconds for a ringtone. Ample time.

I've used Audiko to download a few ringtones and they are on my iTunes, but where do they go when I sync my iPhone?
They aren't in the Ringtones selection and they aren't in the iPod?

As above... mine dont go into the Ringtones folder..

once you get used to the guide way on internet of deleting it then going to the file location and then changing the file name from m4a>m4r its really simple and quick to be honest (or is it m4r>m4a cant remember)

First, you need to check if the ‘Ringtones’ section is present in your iTunes. If you don’t have any ringtones there, double-click all the .M4A files you downloaded from Audiko, or add them manually to the iTunes library.
Connect your iPhone to your computer, select iPhone from the devices list, then switch to ‘Ringtones’ tab on the right. Check ‘Sync ringtones’ option, and choose either all ringtones or the ones you like.

In one ear and out of the other....


EDIT: Worked it out

Select song in iTunes

Clip 30 seconds of the track where you want in info

Create AAC Version

Drag File to desktop

Rename to .m4r

Double click it and it will add it to the ringtone folder in iTunes

Then sync with iPhone

(this is for Windows, not sure if its the same for Mac)

[Millsy]
