Create a ringtone in iTunes

  1. Select a track to use as the source. You cannot use an Apple Music item, or anything that is in the cloud.
  2. On the Get Info > Options tab set start and stop times less than 40 seconds apart.
  3. Under Edit (Win) or iTunes (Mac) > Preferences > General tab > Import Settings choose AAC Encoder > High Quality 128k.
  4. Use File > Convert > Create AAC version.
  5. Reset the start and stop times on the original track.
  6. Right-click on the new copy and click Show in Windows Explorer or Finder.
  7. Delete the new entry from the library without sending to the recycle bin/trash.
  8. Change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r. (You may need to adjust folder options to see the extensions)
  9. Move the file into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder inside your media folder, it will be added to the Tones section of the library.
  10. If you don't see Tones in the drop down media selection menu click Edit Menu at the bottom and add it.
  11. Connect the device, select its icon next to the media selection menu, then the device's Tones tab, and set the sync options.
  12. Sync the device.
