Update: Works with firmware 1.1.2 Update: No longer works with firmware 1.1.1
So with the announcement of non-hacked ringtone support, I set out to get me a ringtone. The problem: I don't have much purchased iTunes music. Most of my music I've ripped myself to FLAC and converted to MP3 with Oggify. So iTunes won't let me make ringtones from those. A bummer, because their editor looked pretty slick.
Instead I've come up with my own method for making ringtones, taking advantage of Open Sources apps.
- Use Audactiy to trim out 30 seconds from a FLAC file. Add space at the end if desired.
- Export out to WAVE.
-
Use afconvert (in
/Developer/Examples/CoreAudio/Services/AudioFileTools, you'll need to build it yourself). -
afconvert -f m4af -d 'aac ' -b 192000 [file-name] - Edit the tags as needed.
- Use MakeiPhoneRingtone to load it into iTunes.
- Sync with iPhone.
At some point I'll probably make something that does steps 3 through 6 easier, no time soon though.
