So, I helped Mike with getting new ringtones for his iPhone 3G without paying the ridiculous $2 per tone. Well, the system I showed him works just fine, but only for the Mac. I found an easier way that as far as I can tell works. Unfortunately, I don’t have an iPhone 3G (yet) to test this, so I’m going to show you guys the video and have you guys tell me whether or not it works.
When I followed this procedure, sure enough, I have a 30 second snippet of a Bad Religion song in my Ringtones list. I did this on iTunes 7.7.1, but like I said, I don’t have an iPhone to put the ringtone on to, so try it out and tell me if it works for you.
Now, I’m going to try to edit a song down with Audacity and see if it works that way too. Hold on a sec.
Yeah, I did it. Turns out though, that Audacity won’t output to AAC, so I exported the clip in MP3. Generally, I export the audio as the same filetype and bitrate as it was imported. Then I used dBpoweramp Music Converter to convert it to AAC and changed the filename to m4r. Maybe the video’s method is a bit easier, but I like to have a lot of control over my ringtones.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
