July 1st, 2009 by ftsIf you have had an Iphone for some time, you may remember when creating an Iphone ringtone was so simple you just renamed the file and synced it back to your Iphone. Im sure you will agree Iphone ringtones were never easier to create, however then Itunes 8 came along, with Itunes 8 came a number of new features, among them the facility to easily create Iphone ringtones yet again. Itunes 8 allows you to customize a songs start and end time, use this to select a 30 second peice of the song (the iphones ringtone limit) and hey presto you have created yourself a free and easy ringtone using nothing more that a bit of your time and Itunes 8.
By default Itunes will let you create a ringtone from a song you have downloaded but they will charge you 99c for the privilege, all is not lost follow the steps in this guide and create ringtones for free using the music you already have on your hard drive

3. Right click on the song and select “Get Info”
4. Click on the “Options” tab
5. Check both the “Start Time” and “End Time” boxes
6. Select the time interval you’d like to use as your ring tone clip (Make it’s 30 seconds or less!!)
7. Click “OK”

9. Select “Create AAC Version” or “Create Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) Lossless Version” (Make sure your iTunes “Import Settings” are set to “AAC” or “Apple Lossless” and not “MP3?)
10. You will now see two copies of the song in Itunes, one will be the full length version the second is the newly created shorter version we will use for our ringtone
