Hi,
so I've got a bunch of custom recordings I used to have set as my ringtones. Since my new phone I've done a fresh update and therefore lost the ringtones in the purge.
It used to be a case of dropping them onto your phone via iTunes, which it's not now because iTunes is dead. I've had a poke about on the internet and it seems you should be Abel to drag the M4R file into finder and onto ones phone, but this doesn't seem to work. I'm on Big Sur and iOS 14.
Has anyone got a work around? there is something about using garage band on iPhone to create a loop and then make a ringtone that way but that seems really fiddly... Not to mention the violins... Dad jokes.
thanks.

MusicToRingtone?
I can't remember the exact process, but I'm thinking this can be done with the app MusicToRingtone. If memory serves, you can put your recordings in files, (which you can do from your computer), and then you can use MusicToRingtone to send them to garage band, which does the conversion for you. The process sounds worse than it is. I've done it a handfull of times. Alternatively, you might be able to open the file directly in garage band and let it convert it, but admittedly I'm not 100% sure how that works. My question would be how on earth you would delete the doggone ringtones, as those things add up after a while. I've yet to figue that piece out.

Thanks so much for this. It was sending me nuts, was super easy... For those who want to know the steps:
1. Download Music To Ringtone
2. Open it and load up your DRM free track either from and iTunes inport or, as I did, by dropping it on my computers desktop and picking it up with files in iCloud on my phone.
3. Set length, trim etc.
4. Save as Garage band file.
5. Load that file in, you guessed it, Garage band.
6. Long press on the file in the 'My songs' menu and go to share.
7. Choose export as ringtone...
Follow it from there. Super easy, which is a relief after spending three hours this morning trying to work it out.
PS... To delete ringtones all you need to do is into IOS settings > Sounds and haptics > Ringtone > and then use a flick up or down to choose the delete action. Too easy.
Thanks so much for your help.
create ringtone without computer
if you already have the song you can just import the song into GarageBand and export to ringtone
here is the step on YouTube if anyone interest in it.

music to ringtone
If you skip the video you can bring up the help in a readable webpage. Also, when garage band talks about file length, ignore it and create the ringtone.
i tried the music to ringtone
I tried the app, and i converted the file and sent it to Garage band, but can not do anything inside Garage, band,
ANy help?
just purchase the app
Hello:
I finally can use the music to ringtone,
only a very very small issue, you should purchase the app, because it contains ads, and the share screen will appear between ads, in other words, you should scape the ad, inorder to see the share screen to garageband,
but now, it is working, yaaay,
thanks in advance

Glad that I got tones before it got hard to add them. I got close to 40 tones from the web page beside the one I got from the apple store. I want to buythe world a coke, scooby doo, mighty mouse, dynasty, and others.
iTunes
At least the last time I tried it, as long as you add the song to iTunes you can FInd the Create Ringtone from the context menu and do it that way.
I kind of remember something about changing the filetype from MP3 to M4a for it to work. then make sure its on your tones section.
