can you make iphone ringtones longer than 30 seconds

Is there any way to make the ringtones last longer than 30 secs? It's annoying.

clarkkent26,

The maximum ringtone length depends on how you create your ringtones.

If you purchase a ringtone from the iTunes Store:
Personalize your ringtone by choosing up to 30 seconds of your favorite song with the easy-to-use iTunes ringtone editor.

If you create a ringtone in GarageBand 4.1.1:
Set up a cycle region that covers the area you wish to use in the GarageBand song. Note: This area must be 40 seconds or less in length.

You could use iToner, that is about $25 so depending on how many tones you want to make may be worth a buy. You can also get a demo (30 days) its good and easy to use. Try to get all your chosen ringtones converted in the demo period :0)

I have actually converted a few songs and it is the whole song as the ringtone, not a 20/30/40 second clip of it; I set my alarm and listen to the whole song when I wake up in the morning, its great and much better than a repeating tone!

Hope that is of some help?
