Do you want to create your own ringtone for your iPod? Then don’t worry, updated iTunes 7.4.1 is now just for you! Apple has released another iTunes update to close up a ringtone loophole.
As the iTunes 7.4.1 was released, on the other day, MacRumors forum reader has found ringtones loophole which allows any music file to be used on the iPhone as a ringtone simply by renaming the file to an .M4R extension and bringing it into iTunes.
iTunes 7.4.1 is slightly different and slightly more complicated from original method but it will not give you any error. Here’s how you can create your own ringtone:
For Mac Users:
1) Select an MP3 in iTunes and convert it to AAC or use an existing AAC
2) Duplicate the AAC and rename it
3) Select “Get Info” from the file menu and change the file’s extension to .m4r
4) Double-click the file, then it will load into iTunes and show in your iPhone’s ringtones tab
5) Before attempting to sync, change the file’s extension to .m4a
6) Sync your new ringtones to your iPhone
For Windows users:
1) Select an MP3 in iTunes and convert it to AAC or use an existing AAC
2) Right-click the converted AAC in iTunes and select “Show in Explorer”
3) In Windows Explorer, duplicate the AAC and rename it, change the file’s extension to .m4r
4) Double-click the file - it will load into iTunes and should show in your iPhone’s ringtones tab
The last method is same as it is given for Mac users. Thus you can create your own ringtone and constantly play for the next 10 hours.
