Help Support One Laptop per Child with Ringtone Studio...

By Thom Yarbrough

Mac users can now celebrate because Apple has found a way to convert favorite tracks into ringtones for your iPhone. All you need to do this, is have a GarageBand on your Mac, most preferably the 4.1.1 version as it allows you to not just convert your favourite songs into ringtones from iTunes but from anywhere else you music may be stored.

From the iTunes the process is so uncomplicated. All you have to do is open GarageBand and drag and drop your favorite songs from iTunes into GarageBand into a whole new track. After that, all you have to do is just activate the region loop tool by clicking on the Cycle Region button and then select the length of the ringtone according to your need. Remember your selection has to be within 40 seconds as that's the maximum compatible length.

When everything is according to your preferences, all you have to do is to click Share and then click on Send Ringtone to iTunes. GarageBand does all the work of converting the song to the required format and then deposit the song as a ringtone in iTunes. After that you just have to connect your iPhone to iTunes and sync both. As simple as that!

However, if you want to create ringtones from the music outside of your iTunes that too can be done. The same steps have to be followed for the conversion. However, before that you will have to build your tracks in GarageBand and then follow the same steps for the conversion.

Users of Windows PCs cannot benefit from this as GarageBand works only on Mac. However, there are numerous other ways in which they too can create ringtones from their favorite music tracks. But things just got a lot easier for Mac users who don't have to bother about converting formats and choosing how to do what to get ringtones. Just a few clicks and everything is done and accounted for splendidly.
