Until today, I’d been using those default ringtones on my iPhone. A few days back, a friend of mine told me how he changed the file extension of an mp4 file to m4r and moved it on to his iPhone to get a new ringtone. I thought I’ll give it a try today and it worked like a charm. Here’s what I did.

• On iTunes, I converted an mp3 to aac format.
• Downloaded a nice mp4 splitter from here. (It can split files of duration upto 2 mins. for free – more than what we are going to need!)
• Opened the converted file in the splitter and split it by choosing the starting and ending interval. Try to keep the length of split <= 30 secs. (best part is you could specify the interval in milliseconds).
• I chose to save the split file with the extension m4r. You could also change the extension after it is created.
• Drop the split file back on iTunes and it will show up in the ‘Ringtones’ section.
• Sync’d up my iPhone and voila! there it was… (in case the ringtone does not show up on iPhone sync window, try reducing the split file interval)
