I would usually recommend iRinger. Sure its preset to only make 30sec ringtone ... heck ... who would want a whole song as a ringtone. I don't think anyone would wait for u to pick up the phone for more than 30 sec.

Why i recommend iRinger? Coz its by far the easiest one around (my opinion la ... others i don't know). U can put fade in fade out (which u can't do with the itunes trick) and it can automatically upload to itunes and no need to rename the filetype from m4a to m4r. Then u just sync the ringtones in itunes (check the ringtones tab).

Added on April 20, 2008, 2:35 amhow did u create the m4r? if by using the itunes trick (select the start and stop time in get info), then u need to convert the file to AAC first. Example ... u have song A in itunes ... u open 'get info' and got to Option tab ... set the 'start time' and 'stop time' to the desired time and press ok. Once done ... right click again at song A and 'convert selection to AAC'. Then u'll have 2 song A in itunes. One is the full length song and the other is the one u set the length. u can see from the 'time' column in itunes. Then pick the one u just convert and right click ... copy and paste to ur desktop. The file should be something like A.m4a ... u need to rename the file extension from A.m4a to A.m4r. Then in itunes ... click file ... add file to library ... go to desktop and find A.m4r. It will automatically put the ringtone in the ringtones category. If its not in there then the file is not a ringtone format that itunes recognize.

Still i suggest using iRinger coz of its simplicity.

I had problems with making ringtones too till I found a program called "Iphone Ringtone Maker 2.1.3" (I dont know if there is a newer version out yet but that is the one I use and it works perfectly, and very easy to use

creating ringtones for iphone were piece of cake. i dont need all those fancy software, just using itunes is enuff

how do u go about it? coz when i sync 3 custom ringtones all played the same song...=(

Hey, why not try PHONEZAP application? No need to cut a song from ur pc.Its really cool. Can do straight from ur iphone. No need to sync from ur pc la,do this and that la....Ver very easy

iRinger is the best...
