Why does the ringtone sound worse AFTER I download it?

Hi guys,


I'm having an odd issue. I just bought three ringtones direct on my iPhone 4S from the iTunes 'Tones' section, and when I set them as ringtones and preview them on the phone they sound really crappy. When I previewed them in the 'Tones' section and streamed them the sound was full and clear. Any ideas?


Much appreciated,


Sacha

iPhone 4S-OTHER, iOS 5

Thanks for getting back Gabrielle, sadly they weren't free. They were 99p each, official tracks from iTunes Tones, Dollar, Paradise and Louder. They sounded really clear when I previewed them, then after downloading them it seems the quality dropped significantly, so much so that I wouldn't want to use them as ringtones because they just sond annoying.

Try and synchronize them on computer with iTunes !

After they appear in Itunes as synced to library the sound quality will be better on device ....

i used Fone Trans app, trial, to sync folder to iTunes library , then did the rest from iTunes .

Only issue i found is that , from 54 ringtones , it takes only 40 that accumulate 20minutes , but that's ok !


Succes

P.S. IOS 10.1 , Iphone 7+...
