"Hi, I'm Ben from the Cellphone Broker in San Jose, California. Today I'm going to show you how to make free MP3 ringtones on your computer to put on your cellphone. The first thing you want to do is open up your iTunes application and your Garage Band application, if you're using a MAC; if you're using a Windows Computer, just use whatever the equivalent would be on, on your computer. Just take create new music project in, in Garage Band and type in a name for the song that you're going to save it as and hit create. From there what you could do is you can reopen the iTunes application; you can find the song that you want to use as a ringtone; just drag it right over here into this gray area and Garage Band and you'll see it shows up right here as this yellow bar. All you need to do after that is go up here to share; hit send ringtone to iTunes and it will ask you to adjust the length of the song because it will only take a, about thirty seconds. So just take this little yellow bar right here and drag it until it stops going. And you can also come down here and change this to time so that you can adjust it a little bit better. So just adjust it over here to, we'll just say thirty seconds and then hit share again; send ringtone to iTunes and it'll package up the song and turn it into a, a ringtone. It will then save it right here into your iTunes. It immediately start playing and so you can preview it. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to take my iPhone; I'm going to plug in the USB cable to the phone and then plug in the USB cable to the computer. I can then wait for it to show up right here in iTunes so once it shows up, once it shows up here in iTunes, it's going to pop up with the, with the little iPhone thing right here. What I'm going to do is sync and sync all of my music with my phone. So what I can do now is I can go into settings. I can click sounds, ringtones and if I click right here, that will start playing the song that I just created. I'm Ben from the Cellphone Broker, that's how you make free MP3 ringtones.
