[QUOTE="DeclinedShadow, post: 698183, member: 47433"] Hi, I've seen that there are already a few threads about this, and several film-clips on YouTube, but I've already checked those out... I have a new iPhone 3G, version 2.0, and I'd like to know how to import ringtones to it that I haven't boght from the iTunes Store. I've tried some stuff I read about on the internet; cutting out the part of a song I'd like to use (29 seconds), converted it to AAC ([B].m4a[/B]) and then manually changed the file-ending from [B].m4a[/B] to [B].m4r[/B]. I had previously checked a box in the iTunes Preferences saying "Show Ringtones" or something similar... After that I opened the new file in iTunes, and expected it to show up under the "Ringtones" tab instead of under the "Music" tab, but it didn't. I couldn't drag it from the one tab to the another either... :( [/QUOTE]
