Hello Guys and Girls. iTunes how to convert songs to ringtones or text
alerts so first of all if you just open up your iTunes and if you add the song
that you want to convert into a ringtone or text alert so in this particular
instance it's scarlet fire so this is the one that we've actually selected
here right now if you right-click on this song and click on get info now what
we want to be doing here is because the song is two minutes we don't want a
ringtone or a text there that's two minutes so we just want to make it 20
seconds so it's nice and short so if you go to the options and the start and stop
so if you make the stop 20 seconds obviously you can have any segment of
any particular song that you like click on OK
well I know what you need to do is we need to select this song again the one
that we've just made the segment of so select it and then on file click on
convert and then create a corrosion AAC version and you'll see it makes a little
noise so now here we've got the original song and we've got the new twenty-second
version now what we want to do now is literally drag the 22nd version on to
your desktop so make iTunes a little bit smaller literally on the mouse hold the
left button down and drag it onto your desktop now you want to delete the
version from iTunes a 22nd version and also just for completeness I also
actually deleted the original songs realm you don't have to do that right
and now we do is go to the 22nd song we've gotten a desktop and rename it to
dot M for our dot m for our and just click on yes so now that is an actual
ringtone version which iTunes understand so now go to a file add and then click
on the dot M for our version and that will then load that into iTunes now you
won't actually see it because it's not music is actually x you need to select
the tones thing seeing it and then there is scarlet fire and the 22nd version so
now what we want to do is we want to plug the iPhone in and then start
syncing all the songs that are on there and then hopefully that new extra song
town will get synched onto your iPhone well I'm just going to speed this up a
bit here
well it's now a few a choose and select your phone within iTunes just make sure
everything is set to sync I mean what I like to do is just and just manuals
things where I know I choose does it pretty much automatically just to make
double sure that it's gone to your phones so if we just click on the sync
button there right so now if we Gary over to the left click on tones you'll
see that that scarlet fire 20-second ringtone song
text alert thing is now on my iPhone so let's go to the iPhone right click on
settings click on sounds and then I'm actually going to select a text claim so
that's the one I've currently got and this is the scarlet fire version which
we've just created that's actually as a ringtone so you consider it as a
ringtone we can set it as text tone or a voicemail or a new mail alert I mean
anything you like really so actually fairly simple I mean it it
always seems quite complicated but it's actually a fairly simple process
obviously Apple don't want you to be able to do this because they want you to
go away and buy the song as a ringtone so good job thanks for watching bye
