There have been a lot of custom ringtone hacks for the iPhone floating around the web. Ranging from 7 to 20 steps these hacks are ridiculously complicated and even thinking about using them voids your warranty. Custom ringtone hacks probably won’t do you any good unless you are super versed in the workings of computers.
Not only are these ringtone hacks pretty complicated, but you also risk bricking your iPhone and ripping up the warranty in the process. So for those (like me) who just want showtune ringtones and don’t even begin to know how to hack anything it was “no ringtone for you!”
Well, fortunately, that has all changed thanks to the nerds at Efiko Software. They’ve designed an almost too good to be true iPhone ringtone app. The aptly named iPhoneRingToneMakerlet’s you do just that; make custom ringtones quickly and easily from your existing MP3s.
For the introductory discount price of $9.95 you can download the software and make unlimited custom ringtones. Right now the RingToneMaker is only set up for Windows so Mac users will have to run a parallels desktop program. Matt Miller at ZDnethas some good instructions to do this as well as a video showing how easy this ringtone creator is to use.
And easy it is. Once you have iPhoneRingToneMaker downloaded onto your computer you simply right click onto any MP3 track in your library and select “create a ringtone.” You can also add sound effects to further personalize your ringtone and even set the song as your MP3 alarm on the iPhone.
This ringtone maker is really super neat and sooooo easy to use. It really beats following a 20 plus step hacking tutorial.
