Make your own iPhone ringtones with ToneShop for Free

There are so many mobile phones around, that getting a unique ringtone on the mobile is not just matter of prestige, but matter of convenience, when you can immediately detect your personal call on the packed party. Frequently you are forced not just pay for the loading new ringtones to your phone in order to replace the standard built-in files, but also you need to work hard, looking for your favorite. The new freeware will help you creating ringtones from your favorite audio files, whenever you like, saving you a dollar charge for downloaded ringtone.

ToneShop is a small freeware that can create ringtones out of audio files for any phone supporting a true audio ringtone, including the Apple IPhone. You can quickly and easily select a fraction of the soundtrack to be used as a ringtone. A quality of software operations is guaranteed as ToneShip is a frontend GUI for well-known FFMPEG, the encoding engine which the majority of freeware video and audio conversion programs are based.

Software is very user-friendly and easy to understand. All you do is choose the ringtone output format, load in your original audio file, and select the output file name and location. Next, you use the play controls to listen to your audio file and locate the portion you want to become the ringtone. When you think you’ve found the starting position for your ringtone, press the Start button and the exact starting time down to the millisecond will appear in the box next to it. Repeat the procedure, when you want to pinpoint the ringtone end, pressing the Finish button. Preview your results. Now, you can manually edit the Start and Finish times by clicking in the text box and typing in new values. When the final tweaks are completed, press the Convert button and software will decode the trimmed audio track to the mobile phone recognizable format.

The software does not "invent the wheel". Everything it does can be performed by the existing on the market utilities. But, it is free, it produces a good quality ringtones, and everything you need is included in one piece of software. Give it a try!

How do I download the file to my iTunes ringtone file?

Hi Jennifer,
Checking the post before answering your questions, I have found that the site links are unavailable for the described utility. I will monitor the site for some time before announcing the authors inability to support it.

OK, Jennifer,
That is the mini-guide, I found online as answer to your question:

1. Get the music file in mp3 format.
2. If you purchased a song from iTunes, first convert it to mp3, because as the song owner, you are the only one that can legally do the conversion.
If you right-click on a music track in iTunes, there is an option to Convert Selection to some other format. Change your import settings to get iTunes to import the track as MP3. In iTunes 8, go to Edit / Preferences / General and click the Import Settings button. In older versions of iTunes, click on Edit / Preferences / Importing (or Edit / Preferences / Advanced / Importing). Your goal is to change the Import Using from the default setting to "MP3 Encoder". Click OK to save this setting. Now when you right-click on a music track, there will be an option to Convert Selection to MP3. But just try it... iTunes will tell you that "Protected files cannot be converted to other formats."

3. Upload the mp3 file to Ventone's FREE Ringtone Creator and create ringtone from your audio file:

4. When your mp3 ringtone is ready, go to your "My Ventones" page where you will see personalized list of created ringtones. Click on the ringtone, you are going to choose.
5. On the ringtone page, scroll all the way to the bottom, where you will see a link that says "Click here For your iPhone Ringtone". Click on the link, and you instantly receive a link for your iPhone ringtone download.
6. Download the file onto your computer.
7. Go to iTunes, and Import the iPhone ringtone. If the operation is successful, you will see it listed under Ringtones category in iTunes.
8. Connect your iPhone and Sync the Ringtones.
