The track will have to lay nothing at all $ 0.99. Here are just here in Russia and CIS "tuna" while not fully working, so how to create a ringtone with one click does not suit us. Go to iTunes, I'll be back, but while we consider a completely legal alternative.

Method two - iTunes with a slight modification

Actually the essence of fashion is to use iTunes as a music converter. To download the iPhone we need a file type *. m4r, which is nothing but the same file with the extension *. m4a. And in such a format iTunes converts any music file in seconds. Will only have to rename the result, add it to your ringtones and to synchronize.

First we select the music file from the folder Music. Click on it with the right mouse button and choose the option "Get Info". In the window that expose the volume and duration of note played. Let me stress again: for ringtones, which will be transferred to the iPhone through synchronization, the duration of melody should not exceed 30 seconds. Save the resulting short fragment, carries it to the desktop and rename to *. m4r. Return the renamed file into the folder of ringtones and sync iPhone. All (smiley).

In the window of imports can be added to handle any of the supported formats. Then track the movement of the window to select the fragments with a fixed duration of 30 seconds of sound. You can add effects that are available on the tab on the left. The last stage - import. Here are a few options - to save the file to disk, import into iTunes, or a fragment of a file transfer immediately to the iPhone on one of the secure protocols. The last feature works only after you make $ 10 (minimum) at the expense of the author of the program. The program allows you to immediately add ringtones to iTunes for syncing. As a result, we have a good utility, the only drawback of which is the inability to create ringtones longer than 30 seconds.
