Question

for free

Answer 1

If you have some music on your computer, use that music to make ringtones. Many people already have iTunes installed to catalog all their music and for use with iPod. Here is one way to make ringtones using iTunes (free download for Windows or Mac):

Note-- These menu choices are based on my Mac version. If you have the Windows version it may vary slightly. With iTunes open, go to the iTunes menu > Preferences > Advanced > Importing. There you see a drop list for Settings. Choose Custom... Now change the rate to whatever you like. 96 is good for even the best of phones. Don't mess with the equilizer options or you may destroy the phone speaker. Choose mono to cut the file size in half without affecting quality. For 30 second ringtones, the files will range in size from 150-210k. Use this setting for making a bunch of ringtones because when you are totally done, you want to set iTunes back to your high-rate setting. Otherwise all future song imports will be mobile phone quality.

To extract a segment of a song in iTunes, click once to select the song in the library list. Then File > Get Info. In the Options tab, choose the start time / stop time. You can choose to the 1/100th of a second if you are of a mind, but, hey, it's only a ringtone, not a Superbowl ad soundtrack. You will do it custom for each song. I suggest 10-30 seconds. It should loop at the end anyway. Back in the library list, with the original song selected, go to Advanced menu > Convert selection to MP3. After a few seconds, you will have your ringtone with new name of "Light_My_Fire1.mp3" or whatever. Play it to see if you are satisfied with the edit. Trash it if you are not and then tweak the segment start/stop time again.
