In

you may create a ringtone on a PC or Mac with the help of various
programs. One of them, I bet, you have already had on your computer. Run

“Get info” from the drop down menu. Go to “Options” and set start and
stop time of the future ringtone, but no longer than 30 seconds.
Click OK after you finished. Right click on the song again and choose “Create ACC version”.
The
30-second-song will appear in iTunes. Now you need to rename the
extension from m4a to m4r. Right click on the short song and choose
“Show in Windows Explorer” or “Show in Finder” if you are using Mac.
Rename
the file in the folder. In case you don’t see the file extension, go to
“Tools” – “Folder options” – “View Tab” and uncheck “Hide extension for
known file types”. Now you can easily rename the song. Delete the short
version from iTunes (but keep the file on PC/Mac!) and add the renamed
one to iTunes Tone library.
Transfer the file to your iPhone and set as a ringtone.
