This weekend, Call your folks, or better yet, have them call you so that you can hear all the new ring tones you’ve been making. Ever since my BIL-Dave posted a tutorial on how to make ringtones out of songs already in your iTunes library, I have gone a little crazy…as in 65 ringtones crazy.
1. Click on iTunes – Library
2. Click the song you’d like to edit
3. Locate the start and end times of the selection you want. To do
this, move the iTunes playback head (at the top of iTunes) to the
start of the selection and note the start time. Then move the playback
head to the end of the selection and note the end (stop) time.
4. Click on the Song File – Get Info – Options
5. Click on Start Time and enter the start time you noted
6. Click on Stop Time and enter the end time you noted
7. Click on OK
8. Click on iTunes – Edit – Preferences – Importing
9. In Import Using, click on AAC Encoder
10. Click on OK
11. Right Click on the Track thats been added – Convert Selection to AAC
12. Right click the new AAC track and choose to find in on your computer
13. Rename the new AAC track as a .m4r
14. Double click the new .m4r which will open up into the ringtones
section of iTunes
15. Sync new ringtone to iphone
Also, here is a video tutorial using iTunes 8.0
It’s too bad that I’ll probably only get to hear two of them… “Oh? So, you missed a message from who? Chandler? Or your mom? Or Chandler? Or your mom?”
Here are some of my favorite ringtones that I’ve made:
1.Because I’ve always wanted to learn a second language:
Mr. Roboto
2.Who doesn’t want this song stuck in their head:
Tainted Love
3.Because I can whistle better than I can sing:
Young Folks
4.When I’m out with the ladies:
Glamorous
5.For my sister Shauna:
Safety Dance
6.For when Kyle calls from work:
Working Man Blues
7.For those stressed out days:
Breathe
8.For when my Mom is calling to nag me:
…
9.For the days when I feel like screening all my calls:
Did you get my message
10.The weekend theme song:
Wang Chung
So, what songs do you (or would you) have for ringtones?
OK, Young lady, you go to your room right now. Mom
What a fun post! And remember, if your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance, then they’re no friends of mine. (PS, what was the 9 kids and a wife song, funny)
Can’t wait to try it out! I need some new ringtones!
Ok I am going to play now. I haven’t tried this yet. Your mom’s is the funniest
How long are you in time out for?
Those are some great songs! I’m going to have to try that! Have a great weekend!
You’re killing me, those are great!
Mine is Nowhere With You by Joel Plaskett & the Emergency. My boyfriend and I are relatively new in our relationship (18 months into the lifetime that we plan to spend together) and still cannot get enough of doing something, ANYthing with each other whether we go somewhere or nowhere. We just truly enjoy each others company. It's been my ringtone since about two months in.
I can’t get over number 6 or 8.
You just made my week!!! I have been curious about how to do this and now I know!!! “I’m so excited. I just can’t hide it….”
I can’t wait to give my husband a new ringtone.
those are some GOOD tunes! dangit, do you have to have an iphone to sync the ringtones?
I’ve tried… really hard. I just can’t get the ring to actually work on my phone. I have issues.
When my mom is calling to nag…. That is hillarious. I need to get better on my phone, this could be fun!
That’s awesome! I wish I was cool enough to figure out how to make ringtones.
My ringtone for when Kelly calls is “Let’s Get it On” by Marvin Gay. When my mom calls, it’s Flight of the Bumblebee, the most hectic song I can think of.
I think I'm slightly slow. I don't know what the PC term is for that right now.
I need more help than this to figure out how to do this on my phone.
MY NEW iPhone!
