Re: Garage band and ringtones
Hello, you don't necessarily have to use Garage Band to make ringtones out of your own music. You can very easily do this with iTunes. I recently did a presentation on this very topic last Wednesday night for an iPhone Discussion conference that my friend Beverly Hunter and I have on the Conversation Station every Wednesday and Saturday night. These conferences oar held at 7:00 P.M. Eastern Time on Wednesday, and 6:00 P.M. Eastern Time on Saturday. If you would like to listen to my presentation on the Conversation Station just call: 616-883-2999, press pound to skip the welcome message, then press the number 5 for recordings, and then enter the recording ID 17379. I give step by step instructions on how to use iTunes to make your own ringtones.

Re: Garage band and ringtones
No, unfortunately there isn't. I didn't record it myself, it was recorded by the Coversation Station system, and as far as I know the only way to hear it is to call the line and go into recordings and enter the recording code of 17379. This was the first time I did a presentation like this and I had fun doing it, so I plan on doing some more of them in the future. I know that some people don't like the idea of calling one of these coversation lines, but if just give it a try, I think that you will like it.

Re: Garage band and ringtones
Hi there! This might help! From Esther a while ago! use an AppleScript called Make Ringable that you can get from Doug Adams' AppleScripts for iTunes web site: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=makeringable This is a Mac-only solution. You can read the short description of the script under the Make Ringable v1.1 heading, and find complete details in the viewable Read Me PDF that follows the download link after the short description. If this is the first time you're using AppleScripts in iTunes, you'll have to create a Scripts folder in your account under: ~/Library/iTunes/ Then, any AppleScripts that are placed in that folder show up as menu options under a special Scripts menu for that application on the menu bar (in this case, iTunes), that appears to the left of the Help entry. You select your track or item, then navigate to the Scripts on the menu bar, arrow down and select the AppleScript option you want to apply. In this case, the script looks for the start and stop times you selected (e.g., you used the Get Info shortcut of Command+I -- or Control+I in Windows -- then navigated to the Options tab and entered a start and stop time for the section of the track you want to play). You can skip this if your track is shorter than the maximum allowed time for a ringtone (39 seconds). When you run the script, the dialog window that appears after you highlight your track, then select the Make Ringable menu option from the Scripts menu on the iTunes menu bar displays the start and stop times (and the current length for the ringtone), and prompts you to enter a Ringtone name (otherwise uses the same name as your track). If no start and stop times are set, you're prompted with to do so, and given the opportunity to exit the script. The script then coverts the sections to a ringtone of the specified length and the correct format, and adds it to your ringtones library. You're then asked whether you want to reset the start and end times to the whole track before exiting the script. The original mp3 file is left in your music library, and the new ringtone shows up in your ringtones library. If you have the MoveAddict software that allows you to move files, cut, paste, and merge on the Mac, or if you're using one of the move AppleScripts, you can just use those options to put the AppleScript in the /Library/iTunes/Scripts folder under your user account. Otherwise, just copy and paste to that location. So, for a first time AppleScript user, the directions would be: 1. In Finder, press Command-Shift-H (go to your home directory) 2. Command-Shift-G (Go to Folder shortcut) and then either type or paste in: Library/iTunes into the text of the dialog box, and press Return. (Navigate to the Library/iTunes folder in your account). 3. Command-Shift-N to create a new folder and name it Scripts, with a capital S. If you already have a Library/iTunes/Scripts folder in your account you can skip these three steps. 4. After downloading the Make Ringable AppleScript, either copy or move it (and the ReadMe instructions) to your ~/Library/ITunes/Scripts folder. If you copy the AppleScript, the Finder actions are: 4a. Command-C (copy) 4b. Command-Shift-H (go to your home directory) 4c. Command-Shift-G (Go to Folder) then type or paste in: Library/iTunes/Scripts into the text box of the dialog window, and press Return 4d. Command-V (paste) 5. Now, when you're in iTunes, there will be a Scripts menu on the iTunes menu bar, so after highlighting a track in your music library: 5a. Control-F2 (or VO-M) to the menu bar, then Left Arrow twice to the Scripts menu 5b. Arrow down to Make Ringable and press Return 5c. Follow the script dialog options. You can also assign shortcut keys to the AppleScript options, but you should do this when the application (here, iTunes) is not running, since these get defined and loaded when the application starts up. Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes site has many excellent AppleScripts. The site is donationware, which means that you're free to download and use these scripts, but if you really find them useful, you're encouraged to send in a donation, since he writes these for free in addition to his regular job.
