The iPhone has a limited selection of built in ringtones, and only select songs are available for purchase on iTunes as ringtones. Ringer, by Pixel Research Labs, was made to fix this problem. Ringer lets you create any unprotected song into a ringtone. Using the application you can browse your entire iTunes library and quickly create ringtones from audio. This doesn’t only apply to music, Ringer can use audio from videos too.
Ringer is a very basic application. The sidebar on the left lets you browse your iTunes library and the rest of the window is for creating ringtones. You can browse many different sections of iTunes including artists, movies, and TV shows. You can also search for the specific clip.
The ringtone creator is very similar to the one built into iTunes. It has the same features and tools. You simply drag a box around the portion of the song you’d like to use, and hit preview. You can also set the gap in between loops and have the audio fade in and out. When you click create the ringtone is instantly placed under “Ringtones” in iTunes and you will be able to sync them with your iPhone.
Ringer is a great app for creating simple ringtones, but it doesn’t have many advanced features. For some ringtones it might be useful to have a few simple audio effects. There is also no way to control the length of the audio fade. Ringer doesn’t have many features, but it does just what it should. It’s an easy way to create new ringtones in a few short seconds. Ringer is available for $15 from Pixel Research Labs.

Save your $15 and just use Garage Band…

That’s all well and good to say if you’ve already spent the money on Garage Band. Some of us aren’t interested in buying or installing crap like that on our Macs and $15 is a pretty reasonable solution.

@Jason: the most of us get Garage Band with the Mac

Or|. You could save your money and use free software, Tunes to make a free ringtone. Why install and pay for new software?
Step 1: Go to get info of song (Highlight and press CMND+I or CTRL+ right click > Get info).
Step 2: Select a start and stop time for your ringtone in the songs option tab.
Step 3: Convert to M4A
Step 4: Open newly converted M4A and change extension to .M4R make sure you save the new extension when it asks. Re-open the M4R file in iTunes.
Step 5: Done (sync iPhone)

Sorry should have been iTunes not Tunes. Don’t wanna confuse people.

Not all solutions work for everyone. Ringer is free to try out and we hope people will try it and find it useful and easier than other solutions. But you should definitely use what works best for you. Thanks.

Anyone besides myself notice the typo in the main title? Somebody’s on holiday!

I agree with Jason, Garage band is easy to use when it comes to making ringtones, it gives u a 40 second slot to place over any part of anygiven song, (as long as it came from a cd uploaded rather than from itunes store itself, it havent figured that part out yet) but anyways its an awesome tool to use. once youve finished ur ringtone u can send it to itunes as a ringtone. Fun times! I have like 30 now! its ace
