iphone ringtone issue

[matt100]

Hi all

got my iphone this afternoon, its all jailbroken and unlocked etc and I've been trying to get some ringtones on there as per the guide in the sticky. I've got 1 track on there my converting to AAC then renaming it m4r and double clicking it.

I've also done this with 2 more files and they show in the ringtones folder in itunes but not on the sync options for my iphone, can I only have 1 at once or is something a bit iffy here?

Any tips gratefully received.

Have you cut them down to less than 40seconds? That's the maximum length the iPhone will take.

40 seconds is the longest that iTunes will recognise as a ringtone for syncing.

Download MakeiPhoneRingtone, and drop your trimmed aac file on it, job done

Or buy a Mac and use GarageBand out of the box

I'd love to but it's just not convenient for work, I did try full tracks and cropped ones but maybe I cropped over 40s

Is there a max file size?

 

[Beepcake]

I don't think there's a size limit.. just 40 seconds.

And shove VMWare on a Mac and it's fine for most work

Unless of course he runs 3D Studio Max at work!

It'll be fine.. just might get time for a few more coffee breaks

/me goes home to install 3D Studio Max on his 1GB C2D 2GHZ MacBook under VMWare to see how many extra coffee breaks he could get at work*.



*If I used 3D Studio in my line of work that is!

heh, I was talking new job and one of the conditions I was demanding was a macbook with bootcamp and vista

I'd want 4GB of RAM with that deal too!

I wish my work would let me bring in my Mac Pro.. that'd be sweet.

it's website sales so its pretty techy anyway.

Not sure if they'd wear it but there's mileage in them having safari and osx to test new builds on anyway, especially with the iphone probably quadrupling the users of safari in 6 months lol

(joking.. sort of!)

Discussions on a change of contract are under way regarding my job and MacBook (or MacBook pro if I am pushy) is a must or they can keep things the same...
