    Following are the instructions on how to make  custom i phone ringtones:


    Open iTunes.


    Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.


     


    Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.




    Write down the start and stop times of the clip.


     


    Right-click the song and select "Get Info."


     


    Click the "Options" tab.


     


    Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.




    Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 40 seconds long.




    Click "OK."




    Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.


    Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."


    Click on the "Keep Files" button.




    Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.




    Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.




    Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.




    Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.


     


    Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
