How do I import an mp3 ringtone from my pc to a contact on my 4s? Thanks

I made my own from songs I already had. I used Ringtone maker by Zentertain, Ltd. A free app.

While its not elegant one way would be to use an app from the app store called Ringtone. I used it to make my own ringtone from a ringtone from my old phone. I found that the couch worked best as a place to make the recording of the old phone bellowing it's ringtone. Like I said in the beginning its not elegant but it got the job done.

Thanks for the replys, but I may not have asked the right question. I emailed my phone in gmail an attachment of a mp3 sound file that I used im my old phone. How do I move it into the list of ringtones?

It needs to be converted. To .m4r I believe

Search google for iringer and download to pc

Open iringer and browse for the ringtone you want

You can edit the volume, where the song starts etc

Then select export and boom! You now have the ringtone in the correct format for iPhone.

It should also place it into iTunes for you

I got this from the net, you just need itunes to read from the music on your pc/laptop or mac. The follow this steps:

1. Go to the song and control click, go to 'get info'
2. Go to 'options' and check the start and end times you want for the song (less than 40 seconds), then click 'ok'
3. Control click on the song again and choose 'Create ACC version' – NB this won't come up as an option if you are in the process of downloading or synching or importing, you have to wait until that's finished
4. Drag the file to the desktop (this will create a copy)
5. Delete the file from itunes (just the short one, not the original song!)
6. Rename the file on the desktop something short, with no special characters (spaces are ok), e.g. 'Milk Eyes Ringtone'. Add/ change the extention to .m4r (Milk Eyes Ringtone.m4r)

(NB – for PC users: I don't know these steps will work for you guys for changing the file extension this way, as I haven't tested it on a PC. You might be able to change it by going to song info or something, I don't know. Other people in this thread have posted suggestions about how to change file extensions so take a look around if this doesn't work for you).

7. Drag the file/ track back from the desktop to your itunes
8. Find this file in your itunes ringtones folder
9. Control click & go to 'Get info', then remove everything but the name of the ringtune in the 'Info' and 'Sorting' sections (including genre – choose 'none')
10. Drag your new ringtones to your iphone. OR (if this doesn't work)

10. Click on your iphone ringtone folder
11. Go to the file menu (top of your computer screen) and choose 'Sync (John Smith's) iphone'

This worked for me and i used itunes on my laptop (windows)
I havent created more yet, i just created one. And i dont know if you can start the ringtone from any part of the song, say start from the chorus, since the tone i pick is already a catchy tune at the start (its Jason De Rulo's IT GIRL)
