Paying $0.99 for a single Ringtone is way to much especially if you already bought the song from iTunes or have it available on CD or as mp3.The funny thing is that Apple introduced a new format for ringtones with the extension .m4r which is simply a renamed .aac file which are the files that you download when you make a purchase at iTunes.
If you already have the .aac file on your hard drive you simply need to rename it to .m4r and add it to your iTunes library. It can’t be easier than that, don’t you think ? The method to create ringtones for your iPhone changes a bit when you have files in a different format on your hard drive.
The most used formats are mp3 and ogg. What you need to do is to convert them into .aac format and rename them to .m4r again. A software that is able to convert almost every audio format is DBPoweramp. Just run the software and convert your music, or the songs that you would like to have as ringtones.

I converted a cd to AAC via iTunes, then went through my itunes music folder on my Mac Hard drive and renamed to .m4r and it automatically added it into my itunes library, but when i sync my phone it still doesnt recognize it as a ringtone….any suggestions?
I tried converting the files to .acc and renaming the title to .m4r. still can’t set under ringtones. I have a windows pc, Do I need a mac pc to do this?
i converted my tracks to .m4r and copied them to my itunes lib..and they were placed inside the ringtone section…but when i go to my iphone and try to set any as a ringtone i just can’t…the songs are not listed on the ringtone list in settings…any solution???
i think its because the file size is too big, i tried it with a mp3 under 3mb and it worked fine.. or you might just be a complete retard?
the file has to be 30 seconds or less or the phone will not show it as a ringtone.
Another way is to play any track on your mac, record it via wiretap under 30 secs and change the extension to .m4r and move to library. Don’t break any copyright laws :)
