Hi Buddy, I was seriously thinking of just pressing the delete key when I saw your message, but I'll send some information this time around, but you seriously need to work on your spelling and writing style. Your messages are truly horrible to read with a screenreader and a few simple things would definitely help.
For one thing, when you say "I" it should be capitalized, you do it sometimes and sometimes you don't. You should really do a spell check before sending your message and maybe read through it before you send it to make sure it makes sense. You often jump from one thing to another and your message about the ringtone I had to read 2 or 3 times to understand what you really want. You say you don't like this update and then that you hate iTunes and then it goes straight into asking how to make "anmp3" which I deciphered to mean you want to know how to make "an MP3 ringtone". Spaces between words really are there for a reason and commas, periods and the occasional line break or new paragraph make a lot of sense, too. OK, below now are instructions about how to make a ringtone from am MP3 song, I used a song as an example, but any MP3 file would be the same. If it's already a MP3 ringtone which is less than 40 seconds long then of course all that about selecting a part of the song for the ringtone is not relevant and you can skip step 2. Making ringtones from a song or MP3 file 1. Find the song you want 2. Press Control+I for "Get Information", arrow to the options tab, tab to start and end time and set end time to no more than 40 seconds. 3. Right click on your song and select "Create AAC Version" 4. Right click on the newly created 40 second version of the song and select "Show in Windows Explorer" 5. Cut the song with Control+X, then go to your Tones or Ringtones folder in iTunes Media which in turn in in i/tunes which in turn should be in your Music or My Music folder. 6. Paste the song with Control+V 7. Go to the Tools menu of your Windows Explorer window, go to Folder Options and the View tab, make sure "Hide extensions for known file types" is Off. 8. Rename the .M4A extension to M4R. 9. Press enter on the newly renamed file to play it in iTunes, this automatically adds it to your Tones library. 10. Connect your phone, make sure Sync All Tones is selected or if you sync selected tones, make sure your new ringtone is checked, then sync your phone. That's it. Below are the more detailed instructions. This is for Windows, not sure what would be different if you use one of the inferior Mac computers *smile*. Creating Ringtones from songs using iTune for Windows: 1. Find the song you want to make into a ringtone in your Music tab in iTunes. 2. Right click and select "Get Info". Go to the "Options" tab, tab down to "Start Time" and check it by pressing the space bar. Tab again and specify the Start Time. usually you start at the beginning of the song, i.e. 0:00, but if the song starts very slow you may want to find a good spot a few seconds from the beginning where you start the ringtone. tab one more time to go to "Stop Time", check it also and tab to the edit field, specify the Stop Time. This will ensure that iTunes will play the song starting from the specified Start Time to the Stop Time. Make sure that the stop time doesn't exceed the start time by more than 40 seconds which is the maximum length of a ringtone. Click OK. Press enter to play the song, it will only play the part of the song you selected and you can see if it sounds good where it starts and stops. If it stops in the middle of a note or word you can make it a few seconds shorter to find a better place. I usually set the stop time to 39 or 40 seconds and then make it shorter to make it sound good. The start time is displayed as 0:00 where the first 0 means 0 minutes, then a ":" and then the 00 after that is for the seconds. The stop time by default has the ending time of the song, for example 3:23.46 where the first 3 is the number of minutes, then the ":", then the next 2 digits are the seconds and then a "." and the last number or numbers is I guess maybe in one tenth of a second or even one hundreds, not quite sure, but it's a very small increment. Note: Instead of right clicking on the song you can also use the Windows Application Key (some call it the Context menu Key, it's on the right side of the space bar next to the Control key). Even easier is to use the keyboard shortcut "Control+I" and this should work in Windows XP as well as Windows 7. 3. Right click, press the Context Menu Key or press Control+I when you are on the selected song and select "Creat AAC Version from the context menu. Almost immediately you will hear that tri-tone iTunes makes when it's finished doing something. This will create an AAC version of the song for only the section of the song you specified. This new short song will appear right underneath the original song in your list of songs, so you just have to down arrow once to find it. Press enter to play it and to make sure it is as you want it. you can now go back to the original and, in the Options Tab, uncheck the start and stop times so that it will play normally again. Note: If you don't see a "Create AAC Version option when you right click on the song, go to "Edit", "Preferences" and in the General tab click on Import settings, the shortcut is Alt+O. Make sure that the AAC encoder settings are selected, if MP3 is selected as the encoder you have to change it to AAC. I also suggest you check this anyways and make sure you have "iTunes Plus" selected for the quality to make sure you create a good quality ringtone. 4. Select the newly created short AAC version of the song in iTunes and press CTRL+C for "copy". Open your iTunes folder (most likely in "My Music", go to the "iTunes Media" folder and the "Tones" or "Ringtones" folder. Press Control+V to paste the song into the Ringtones folder. 5. Right click on the file and select rename or press the shortcut which is F2. Change the extention for the file which will be .M4A to .M4R. Confirm that you want to rename the file. Note: If you press F2 and don't see the extention, go to "Tools" and "Folder Option". On the "View Tab" turn off "Hide Extentions for known file types". You can turn it back on after you are done creating your ringtones. 6. After you have renamed the song with the .M4R extention, press Enter on the song which will start playing your new ringtones in iTunes. This step is important because by playing it, the tone will automatically be added to your Tones library. 7. Go back to the Music Library, find the short version of the song you created and press delete, when prompted select "Move to recycle bin". This is OK because you already moved the ringtone to the Ringtones folder and no longer need this copy of it. 8. Sync your iPhone with iTunes and your new ringtone will be available. Note: If you have "Sync selected ringtones" turned on, you first have to go to your phone under Devices, tab to the Tones tab, check it and then check the ringtone you created in the list of ringtones before it will sync to your phone. 9. Just as a tip, I usually rename all my ringtones in the Tones Library and put a "Custom -" in front of the song title. This does not rename the actual physical copy on your hard drive, but this way all your custom ringtones are grouped together when you look for them on the iPhone. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of buddy liverman Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 6:03 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: itunes I don't realley like this update except for the voices.
