When you already own Quicktime Pro, you can produce an iPhone ring tone on your own for free. Here is how it works:
- Open Quicktime Pro and load a sound file that you want to convert (AAC or mp3)
- Mark the part of the song that you want to use with the left and right locater in the timebar. The length cannot be longer than 30 seconds
- Go to the edit menu and trim the file to the marked length
- Go to the file menu and select export
- Change the export format preset to „iPhone“, that will export the file with the ending .m4v
- Change the ending to .m4r and drag that file into your iTunes music library
- Sync your iPhone and you’re done
- Change the ring tone to your favorite song and have fun 🙂
