Audiko free ringtones

Has anyone used this website for free ringtones?

According to this website, all you have to do is type in the song, then cut out the 40-45 seconds that you want, then download it to itunes

What's the catch?

Thanks

Be wary of some of these sites. Especially if you're using a PC, unless you want your computer infected with who knows what. Google make ringtones. You can make your own ringtones for free. If you have a Mac, you can make them in Garage Band & export directly to itunes.

That's what I was thinking, but I do resent the fact that I have albums on my iphone and I can't use the song as a ringtone without paying for it again!

I don't have a mac, so would appreciate any info on how to do this on a PC please?

Here's one way:

"I do resent the fact that I have albums on my iphone and I can't use the song as a ringtone without paying for it again!"

Simply not true, the link above gives you one way, there are others, and like I said, if you're on a mac you can use garage band to make a ringtone out of any music in your library & export directly to itunes.

Thanks for the link. I saw this one earlier today, but I also found the following comment under tips and warnings on the same link

This will not work with songs bought at the iTunes store or that have DRM (copy protection). Your best bet is to use a song that you have imported from a CD.

As most of my music is purchased on itunes not CD, it makes things difficult

If your music is itunes plus, DRM has been removed.

I've used Audiko several times, and have never had an issue. But, rarely do I download ringtones from the sight. I use my own music. To make tones from.

You need to learn how to make your own. It's not difficult.

And, you're welcome.

I have never done it before which is why I am asking on here. On my sony C902 all I had to do is drag and drop, which you can't do on the iphone

I'm sure it is easy once you have done it using the right software!

That itunes upgrade seems the easiest though, even though it is an added cost

Look at it this way, it's knowledge. Knowledge can never be taken away from you. Once you lean how easy it is to make your own ringtones, you'll never look back. If you have problems making any ringtones, post back and we'll do our best to sort things out for you.
