iRinger: A Free Way to Create iPhone Ringtones on a PC
In this podcast, Cherokee Eagle gives us a walk-through and demonstration of iRinger, a free application for the PC that enables you to quickly and easily create ringtones and text tones for your iPhone.
iRinger can create ringtones and text tones from virtually any music or video file that you own.
These can then be exported to iTunes, where you can transfer them to your iPhone.
This demonstration is carried out on a PC running Windows XP and using Jaws.

#1 I've successfully used .m4r files as text tones.
I don't know why iRinger says that .caf files are considered text tones--I saw this on the website, too. I'm not sure what a .caf file is, but I've made .m4r files before that were 30 seconds or less, and I could see them as text tones just fine when I assigned a new default tone as my text tone.
On a related note, can you have custom text tones for specific people, like you can with ringtones?
Also, I keep getting a Visual C++ runtime error whenever I run iRinger. It's this:
"R6025"
I don't know how to fix it. Any help here would be appreciated. I haven't looked on their website to see if they have any information on this, but I'm giong to check now. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I'm noticing it right after I import the file that I want to translate into a .m4r.
Thanks,
Shersey
