    I was watching prison break and wanted to convert the prison break them song to iphone ring tone. After some google and testing, I found a useful software to make iphone ring tone. Basically, it changes AAC file to iPhone ringtone. (itune can edit or convert your mp3 into AAC)

    here is the link

    You can also use garageband to do this. Just drag in your music file eg mp3, into a new project. Edit the song down to what you want then choose send ringtone to iTunes from the share menu. And that's it

    ringtones are easy to get for free what i need is a free dvd converter for the iphone :) I use to have one for the first iphone that worked perfectly but as soon as the 3G came out everyone wanted to charge for the converter after that.

    Audiko is a nice simple service to use as well. You upload your song or search for it, crop and edit it, then click to convert it to the iPhone format and download it.

    a converter?

    you know how you turn a acc file into a ringtone? you change the extension... thats it....

    take any .m4a file and rename it to .m4r and its magically a ringtone.

    since you don't want 5-9 minute ring tones, you need to edit them some... you can do this for non-protected music easy in garageband... you can even do it for protected music in garageband, but you need something like soundflower to play the output of itunes into the input of garageband, and just record it over there, then edit it up and add effects or whatever and export.... then call it a .m4r instead of a m4a
