Creating Ring Tones

By peter

5 years 3 months ago

What I do to create a ring tone from another audio format such as MP3 is to use the free Audacity program (available from SourceForge for various operating systems).

Audacity is fairly screen-reader friendly with lots of hotkeys available. You will have to import the MP3 converter which can easily be done from within the Preferences in Audacity.

Then you need to import the MP3 file and export it as M4A within Audacity. Rename the M4A file to have the extension M4R. You can then use iTunes to import the M4R audio file onto your iOS device as a ring tone.

Apple doesn't make this the easiest thing to do but it is possible!

Good luck.

I just upload the mp3 to m4ronline.com, then use iTunes, or appandora to transfer the ringtone to my phone.

Appandora is a little tricky, but I use it because it also lets me put ringtones onto other peoples iPhone.

thank you for the quick reply.

Appandora is similar to iTunes.

You can transfer files from your PC to your phone, and it not only works with apple products, it was originally for android, but they somehow got it to work with apple products as well.

You still need iTunes installed on your computer though, otherwise it won't work.

cool.
