Want funny ringtones for your iPhone? Check here.
MP3 music Downloads? They're here.
If you follow these instructions, iTunes® should do the necessary MP3 to M4R conversion for you so that you can enjoy your MP3 Ringtone on your iPhone®! (If you already have files in M4R format, use these instructions)
- Important: You may receive an error message from iTunes® when you try to sync if the ringtone is too long (usually if it is more than 30 seconds long).
- Launch iTunes®
- From the FILE menu, select "Add File To Library"
- Find and select the Ringtone (MP3) file
- iTunes® will then import that file into the iTunes® Music Library
- Find the Ringtone file in the iTunes® Music Library
- If the Ringtone doesn't have the ID3 Tags set, it will be in the "Unknown Artist" section; otherwise it will be saved under the Recording Artist/Album that is set in the MP3 file
- Right-Click on the Ringtone file and select "Create AAC Version"
- Again, If the MP3 Ringtone doesn't have the ID3 Tags set, a new file will be created in the "Unknown Artist" section; otherwise it will be saved using the Recording Artist/Album that is set in the MP3 file
- Drag the new file onto your desktop.
- You can verify the file is the AAC version by right-clicking on the file and selecting "Get Info"; it should say "AAC audio file"
- When the file is on your desktop, rename it from .m4a to .m4r
- You can now go back to iTunes® and delete the AAC and the MP3 files from your iTunes® Library
- Now re-select "Add File To Library" from the File menu and select the newly created .m4r file.
- After the import, the .m4r file will be located under the Ringtones section in the Music Library!
- Sync up your iPhone® and configure the iPhone® to use the new ringtone and you're DONE!!
