Custom Tones - How to Sync?

[EazyMack]

I have approx. 80 custom tones that I've made over the past couple of years that I've used on various phones (non-iPhones). Now that I have an iPhone 5, I find no easy way to just transfer/sync these tones to my new phone. I've tried converting their format to m4a, and they are all 20 sec. long. When I try to move them to my phone, they go into the "Music" folder, and I can't seem to move them to the "Tones" folder. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

The ringtone format for iPhones is .m4r

Change the extension and try to sync with your iPhone.

Thanks!!! I read here that the format should be m4a. Much appreciated!

I had the same problem when I had custom ringtones, a little research goes a long way!
