How to Make Ringtones for Your Mobile Phone

When the smartphone and tactile cell phones were not in use and the ringtone that the cell itself had bored us, we used to record a few seconds of a song from the radio and then turn it into a ringtone even though the sound was not the best or even recorded funny laughs for turning them into text message tone because we saw our neighbor did it and we wanted it too.

Nowadays, thanks to the advanced technology in the mobile, we can create our own MP3 ringtones with our computers or from our own device with easy steps and in just a few minutes with a sound of excellent quality because we are in the evolved ringtones era and people want their own special sound because they want to make their own the objects they have and personalizing is a way of expression of the human being. We can use different Apps and software as an MP3 cutter and ringtone maker.

Note: Do not worry, you can repeat the steps to create all the MP3 you want as a ringtone and change it daily.

Step 3 Select Your Desired Portion of Song for Ringtone

To select the specific portion, we will use the Crop tool that iTunes offers within your music library. Right-click on the song's name and choose Get Info.

After this, select the Options tab on the top of the window and enter the start and stop time of your MP3 and select OK to confirm.
