A colleague of mine wants to put some music as his ringtone but he has a pc not a mac.
is this possible easily? can you tell me how?
thanks
i have tried google but nothing helps me.
Tell him to buy a mac and get the [url= http://pixelresearchlabs.com/ringer ]brilliant Ringer.[/url]
Failing that he can just suck it up and buy the track he wants from the iStore and convert it to a ringtone within iTunes. Or I am sure some of the windows using brethren will offer suggestions of windows software that should do the same as Ringer.
thanks.
in that case, does anyone know of software that does that for a pc?
he's looking for sth free ideally..
Tried Googling... Are you sure?

It works, I tried it the other week.
yes - take a normal music file and cut it to 30s. Easiest way to do this is to choose a track in iTunes and get the info for it and set the start and end times to be 30 seconds apart. Then, open your preferences and check that the audio ripping settings are set to 128kbps stereo AAC audio.
Next, right click on the song and click on "create AAC version". This will create a new 30 second song in your library.
Now, drag your new song to a folder on your computer. You will see a file there, ending in .m4a. Rename the .m4a to .m4r. Now click on the Ringtones section of iTunes an drag the .m4r file back in there. It should appear.
Finally, sync your phone...
perfect. thanks. Well i tried googling, but not with that exact phrase.
cheers!
he doesnt have 'ringtones' on his tunes - does this mean he has to buy one or can he add that to itunes?
The cost of ringtones on iTunes is HIGH, go the allthegear route, that's what I did, or try zedge.net, save to computer and then drag to itunes ringtones folder.....
It's an option on the menu, find it in the help section

You need to ensure the Ringtones is ticked in the iTunes preference. To verify that, open iTunes and click "iTunes » Preferences" and make sure you are in the "General" settings and tick the box as illustrated below
