Sick of paying for Ringtones? You can make any song a ringtone for free on your Mac! Here's how:

Open Apple Music, or iTunes on older Macs.

  1. Open Music -> Preferences click Files, click Import Settings and choose AAC Encoder, High-Quality 128k
  • Select a track to use as the source.
  • On the Get Info > Options tab set start and stop times to 40 seconds or less
  • Use File > Convert > Create AAC version.
  • Right-click on the new copy and click Show in Windows Explorer or Finder.
  • Change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r. (You may need to adjust folder options to see the extensions.)
  • Now connect your phone and drag the m4r file to it.
