Apple to offer ready-made iPhone ringtones?

September 3rd, 2009

According to CNET, Apple has obtained the rights to distribute ready-made ringtones for the iPhone.

Apple is apparently scrambling to have the ready-made ringtones available in time for their special event “It’s only rock and roll, but we like it” on September 9.

iPhone users can currently create a custom-made ringtone of up to 30 seconds using iTunes Ringtone editor and have to pay an additional cost of 99c for a song if they already have it or $1.98 in case they don’t. Apple had released this feature in September 2007.

The ready-made ringtones will make it very convenient for iPhone users who are too lazy to create their own custom ringtones.

Apple is expected to make an announcement about these ready-made ringtones at their special media event “It’s only rock and roll, but we like it” on September 9.

Here are some of the more interesting rumors and speculations for this year’s event.

  • It’s widely speculated that Apple will be releasing the new generation iPod Touch with a camera.
  • Apple might also release iTunes 9, which might have some exciting new features.
  • Apple is expected to announce the release date of iPhone OS 3.1, which could be September 25 based on AT&T’s announce earlier today about support for MMS feature.

    • Do you buy ringtones? Would you prefer creating your own custom ringtones or a ready-made ringtone?

    How to create a .m4r iPhone ringtone?

    August 11th, 2009

    We have introduced the way of making custom ringtones for iPhone using only iTunes. However, you can only follow this method to make iPhone ringtones using DRM free music in iTunes library. If you want to custom a .m4r ringtone with protected iTunes M4P or DRM protected WMA music, you’ll have to turn to a DRM removal software to get it DRM free first. What’s more, if you are fond of some audio/sound clip from a video file and want to set it as your iPhone ringtone, the iTunes method fails to help too. What’s going to do next?

    ImTOO iPhone Ringtone Maker comes to the rescue! This piece of iPhone ringtone creator software can help you turn virtually any music/sound source into iPhone .m4r ringtone. It can also trim audio clips from video files (in all popular video formats) as iPhone ringtones. Now let’s take a look at the detailed steps:

    1. Download ImTOO iPhone Ringtone Maker from http://www.softdiggs.com. Install and launch it.

    2. After the main interface pops up, click the “Browse” button to select the video or audio file with which you want to custom an iPhone ringtone from the dialog box that pops up and then click the “OK” button. You will see the file path and name are displayed in the “Input File” text box.

    3. Click the “Play” button to listen to the music before creating an iPhone ringtone and locate the part you really want, then drag and drop the start & end sliders to get the music clip. Or you can directly input the start & end time in the “Start Time” and “End Time” text boxes respectively.

    4. Set output folder by clicking the “Browse” button on the right side of the “Local Output File” label.

    5. If you want ImTOO iPhone Ringtone Maker to help you transfer the ringtone to iPhone directly after conversion, check the “Export to iPhone” option.

    6. After finishing the steps above, click the big button at the right bottom to start creating your own iPhone ringtone. During the creation, you can check the process by the progress bar at the bottom.
