@Rossi:

The fact that you have Windows XP may be the problem; I only know this process to work for Mac’s. That being said, I don’t know why it wouldn’t work for XP. Just to clarify: you don’t actually convert the file to an .m4r file, you convert it from an .mp3 file to an .aac file (note: if it is already an .aac file, you skip this step), which, at least on a Mac, is actually an .m4a file. Then, rather than convert the file to an .m4r (so that it opens in the Ringtone section rather than the library), again, at least on a Mac, you just rename the file from, say, “Song.m4a” to “Song.m4r.” Then when you double-click on it or open it, it should be in the Ringtones section. I’m sorry if this doesn’t work on Windows XP but am curious, so please let me know if I was any help or if I can help you any further. Thanks for reading!

Hiya - this seems brilliant but it wont let me convert the file to .m4r… it lets me change the name but stays as an mp4 file so it opens in the itunes library not ringtones. I have windows xp - would this be why? thanks!!

@~k: Most likely, no, actually. Go over to “Get Info” on the song of choice (right-click usually) and see what type of file the song currently is; in all likelihood that song is ALREADY an aac file, in which case, of course, you can skip the entire convert to AAC part of the process! Let me know if it still doesn’t work, and we’ll go from there, but I think you should have success with the above solution. Thanks for reading!

I can’t find the “convert to aac” option…I see create mp3, but no aac option. I went to “preference”, but nothing popped out that would allow me to select aac as an option….is it because I’m working with iPhone 2.1 and iTunes 8.0.1.11??? Thanks!

@Gregory Salvatore Zucco: It should be on the left side, under “Library. For me it’s the last choice under library.

Hey man, where is the “ringtones” section of my itunes? For whatever reason, I’m not seeing it

Somehow after I converted it to AAC, i can’t find the converted version below it. I just click the original mp3, where i adjusted the playing time, and click “show finder” and change the name to m3r, drag it out to desktop. But it doesn’t work. How come the converted AAC don’t show up? thanks.
