1. Step1

   Open iTunes.

2. Step2

   Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.

3. Step3

   Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.

4. Step4

   Write down the start and stop times of the clip.

5. Step5

   Right-click the song and select "Get Info."

6. Step6

   Click the "Options" tab.

7. Step7

   Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e. 2:01) format.

8. Step8
   

   Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 40 seconds long.

9. Step9

   Click "OK".

10. Step10

    Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC". Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.

11. Step11

    Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete".

12. Step12

    Click on the "Keep Files" button.

13. Step13

    Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under Music > iTunes > iTunes Music and under the band's name. It will have an extension of "m4a."

14. Step14
    

    Replace the "m4a" extension of your ringtone with "m4r". You can either double-click slowly to re-name your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.

15. Step15
    

    Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.

16. Step16
    

    Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
