hi all i have just purchased a small MP3 file to use as a ring tone, but, to be be able to use it on my iPhone i need to convert it to a m4r file
is it easy to do this WITHOUT purchasing special software ?
although, having just said WITHOUT purchasing special software !!, i just googled for the relevant FREE software and they ALL seem to be very dodgy !!!!!!

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

An easier way is to just download Ringtone Maker App to you iPhone. You can make unlimited number of ringtones just with songs from your iTunes. You can control the start and end time, fade in and fade out. It's FREE and easy to use. Just "ringtone maker" in the app store and it's by Zentertain Ltd.
No problem, Glad I could help!
It's a great App for being free!
Once I converted it to "m4r" it won't let me import it to my iphone. It shows it in iTunes in my "Tones" list but won't sync it to my phone...Neither will it sync any of the converted AAC ones from my "Music" tabs to my iPhone.
Actually it Works Fine!!! you just must get double click to the tone once it was changed their extension to m4r. And automatically it will import to your ringtone list.
pd. I use thats parameters to make the convertion: the mp3 to an AAC version of 128kbps 44100 and stereo.
Cheers.
it actually doesnt work. ive done it all and double clicking the m4r file doesnt add it to itunes. i got it to work for 3 out of 20 songs. that means that it doesnt work 85% of the time. an app is easier. just type ringtone maker into app store and the icon is grey with an orange music symbol. that is the best app. hope this helps.
dear sir

This didn't help as the link you posted to help with it tells you to download "Iphone Browser." Too complicated.
