Ayanami Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm fine with the three ringtones I have.... Bought one song, made three ringtones out of it. Then again, there were some songs from that album that I wanted to make ringtones out of, and didn't have ringtone option. On second thought, I might give it a shot.

thejj924 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 its free way for Windows Cpus, because Garage band is only for Macs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Elliott Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 its free way for Windows Cpus, because Garage band is only for Macs Your way should work for Macs too, you forgot to mention that you need to drag the .m4r file into the ringtones section of itunes then sync them to the iphone, not just add to itunes. Its also much easier if you drag the 30sec clip to the desktop rather than messing around with the itunes folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSn1™ Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 GarageBand does a good work for this. For PC users, I think there is an app that auto-makes the process and conversion, let me remember the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Step 6 and 8 of the guide are unecessary, just rename the file to .m4r and import the file to your iTunes Library If you selected previously "manage this iPhone manually to add music and blah blah..." you can add it directly to your iPhone just dragging the file located in the Ringtones section, if yu don't have that option turned on you need to synchronize it.
