Hacking iTunes 7.4 – Get your iphone ringtones for free

Apple just announced the ability to invent custom iphone ringtones in iTunes 7.4 only days ago. Unfortunately you have to pay for the ability to use your own music as a ringtone. You already paid for the music, why should you pay for it again? whether you’re thinking along these same lines, read on. whether you don’t mind paying for something twice soon after move along, there’s nothing for you here.

Apparently all that separates a song from a ringtone is the extension which it is given. So as you can imagine, the only thing you need to do is copy the song(s) you wish to convert to ringtones and change the extension from .AAC to .M4R. Double-click your newly created and renamed file and the free iphone ringtones will be imported into iTunes.

Now comes the hard part. Sync your iPhone. That’s it, you’re done. Boy that has to be one of the hardest hacks I’ve ever heard of. Just don’t tell anyone I let you in on the secret.

    I can’t seem to get this to work, on purchased or unpurchased songs – I double click the new .m4r file but nothing happens.

    I’ve managed to change the file type, sync it into the phone according to my pc, but it just doesn’t appear on the ringtone list. The pc apparently can play it from the phone so where is it? Search me!

    I’ve done it and works really well, the only thing you have to be careful of is that the song is less than 30 seconds, otherwise the ringtone will appear in the ringtone section but it just won’t sync to your iPod. There are probably cleverer ways to do this than the way I did it but I’ll tell you anyway. If you just change the start time and end time on the original song before you convert it too AAC, this new version will appear as the correct length of time. (if you don’t know where to change the start time, its the information of the song, just have a look around and you’ll find it)
    and in reply to the post above, I’d say the reason its not working is because it is probably too long.

    Hope that has helped

    Have you considered using Garageband to do this? It’s easy to import a song and then loop the part you like.
