MP3 to iPhone Ringtone Converter Software
Whether you own an iPhone or any other phone, there’s no denying fun in having different ringtones. Downloadable ringtones are available for the iPhone user. Songs downloaded from the iTunes portal can also be converted into ringtones for 99 cents in addition to the cost of the downloaded song. However, what are the options for using one’s own ringtones? How would you like to have ringtones that play for more than half a minute? May be the song you want for a ringtone is a popular hit from the 80s that is not available as one of the downloadable ringtones? Or, imagine your disappointed when you cannot upload your favorite musician’s newest release into your ringtone collection!
If any of these excitable states apply to you, then you might want to consider the Mp3 to ringtone conversion software. Of course, there are a host of such conversion products available on the internet. Try searching for “mp3 ringtone converter.” You’ll be presented with innumerable options.
It was always necessary, however, to read the reviews posted by users before choosing one, because a lot of them were a rip-off. In fact, some of the free conversion software either contains trojans, or its purpose is to get your cell phone information for spammers, so caution needed to be exercised.
There was also the problem with moving ringtones for iPhone users. iFuntastic was an awesome program for the Mac. Not only could you use it to install ringtones, but also third-party applications, wallpapers, and much more by jailbreaking the iPhone. (‘Jailbreaking’ is a term referring to the process of allowing your computer to access the iPhone‘s file system.)
It was very easy to upload ringtones to an iPhone with iFuntastic. Unless people using Windows could do some major hacking, however, they were left out.
Since the release of the new iTunes 7.4, it’s a different story, though. It doesn’t matter what operating system you have on your computer; you can upload and sync ringtones on an iPhone easily with iTunes 7.4.
An m4r file extension is used by iTunes for ringtones. A track-to-ringtone conversion using iTunes 7.4 involves a simple change of file extension.
To change an .mp3 to an .m4r file, first convert it to an .m4a file in your library, than take it out of your library and change the extension to .m4r. Once you have done this you can place it back into your iTunes library. iTunes should now identify the file as a ringtone instead of just a regular track. All you need to do after that is sync the file to your iPhone. Isn’t that incredibly easy?
