Step 1
Realize that everything for your iPhone needs to go through iTunes—music, video and ringtones. Open your iTunes library, and check for any song marked with the ringtone symbol. When you choose one, select "Store" and "Create Ringtone."
-
Step 2
Click on "Preferences" for another option. Choose "Ringtones."
-
Step 3
Carve out 30 seconds of a song that you want as your ringtone. You'll do this at the highlighted area at the bottom of your computer screen. Click the checkbox next to "fade in" or "fade out" buttons to further edit your ringtone.
-
Step 4
Alter the delay time by selecting the interval from the "Looping" menu. Listen to your ringtone by choosing "Preview," and if you like the sound, click "Buy."
-
Step 5
Sync your iPhone once the ringtone arrives in your iTunes library. Now you have a custom ringtone for your custom iPhone.
-
Step 6
Create unique ringtones for specific callers, and you'll know who's calling before you pick up your phone. Tap contacts on your phone, and choose someone. Tap a ringtone for that contact. If your iPhone doubles as your alarm clock, download a ringtone guaranteed to get you up and moving.

on 7/12/2009 My suggestion - use BeeMp3 to download music onto your computer music files (to avoid the "protected" songs which won't let you edit or use them in your itunes), then use a program called "iRinger" which is free and you can "import" the song directly from your computers music file, then create a custom ringtone that when "exported" can then be saved in your itunes "ringtones" folder. Another tip - if it has the same name as a protected song in your itunes file, put a number at the beginning of the song when you save it to trick itunes, then it should show up on your iphone. It's very easy.

on 1/14/2009 That's a good point about Garage Band because I have found that you can create your own ringtones elsewhere, but can't assign them to individual callers.
Is there an app you can download that offers ringtones as well?
