You can make ringtone using iTunes 🙂


Convert mp3 to AAC (you can also cut interesting part of the song using information page in file properties) and then rename file extension from m4a to m4r and reimport it to itunes and viola! 😉


BTW. Here is one of instructions available online: http://howto-themes-for-iphones.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-convert-mp3-to-m4r.h tml
