Ringtone for iphone

[persian_machine]

I tried the step by step link below, but very last command which asks to use "Now just use WinSCP to upload the ringtone to /var/root/Library/Ringtones." I didnt quite get what this dude is talking about. Any ideas?

This is the link to the page that Im talking about:

If anyone can share effective way of setting up our customize or mp3s as ringtone in iphone, it would be greatly appreciated.

I've been using a program called ibrickr (http://www.iphone-hacks.com/downloads/file/37). It's quick and easy, I just select which mp3 I'd like, it encodes it to the proper format, and sends it to the iphone.

i use the iphone pcsuite for this kind of job. like ibrickr, it converts mp3 songs i select and export it to iphone's ringtone.

He mentioned using a program like WinSCP because that process requires that you "manually" put the files in that file directory on your iPhone. You do that using FTP over SSH (SFTP) or SCP protocols. Most decent FTP programs will support this. Just google "SFTP iPhone" and you should get on the right track.

There is a social networking program in Installer called Phonezap that lets you take any song in your music library, choose a section and copy that section to your ringtones. It's very quick and easy.

I just use the iPhoneRingToneMaker becaue it is really easy to use and you can send ringtones straight to iTunes after you make them!

I've put several custom ringtones on my iPhone 3G that were in no way purchased from iTunes. I am using a PC (not a MAC) and the new iPhone (3G/2.0). You don't need any special software... just iTunes 7.7 and you iPhone. Here's how you do it:

1. Listen to your MP3 and decide what part of the track you want as your ringtone (30 seconds maximum). Note the play time (for example, I would like to use 0:43 to 1:05 as my ringtone).

2. Right click on the MP3 in iTunes. Select "Get Info." Select the "Options" tab. Make sure the "Start Time" and "Stop Time" boxes are checked and enter the times you have selected for your ringtone. Click "OK."

3. Right click on the MP3 again, and select "Convert Selection to AAC." iTunes will create a second track with the same title.

4. Click and Drag the new track onto your desktop. Delete the track from iTunes.

5. On your desktop, right click on the track and select "Properties." If the filename has ".m4a" at the end, just change it to ".m4r", if it just has the track name, you will need to click "Cancel," open up "My Computer," select "Tools" and then "Folder Options." From there, you will select the "View" tab and uncheck the box next to "Hide extentions for known file types." Then go back to the beginning of this step and change ".m4a" to ".m4r"

6. Now the rest is simple. Back in iTunes, go to "File">"Add File to Library." Select the track from your desktop and click "Open." This will put the track in the Ringtones section of your library.

7. Go into the iPhone section of your iTunes and your newly created ringtone should be in the ringtones section ready to be synced! It will appear where the rest of the ringtones are in your phone.
