So, are you saying that there is an apple desk top version that works better than the Microsoft store version? I have had nothing but awful luck with iTunes and would love to find a more intuitive version.

I'm not saying for some tasks like what Richard is describing it might not be good, but for ringtones I can't see it being all that much simpler because it's really not all that difficult in iTunes. OK, granted, I haven't done this in a while and actually haven't even had iTunes on my computer for a bit, but since Richard has sent me a few ringtones made from the Loon recordings I installed iTunes this morning from the Microsoft Store and I'm now going to plug in my iPhone and see what happens; I'll be back shortly. OK, I must say that while I haven't tried the desktop version of iTunes downloaded from Apple, the Microsoft Store version is a huge pain in the area where digested food exits the body. I actually just got iTunes from there because I was curious whether anything had changed, but I remember not finding that version as easy to use as the desktop version which of course I will now have to test so maybe tomorrow I'll uninstall the iTunes app and install the desktop application. Anyways, I did manage to get Richard's tones copied over to my iPhone and even renamed them, but I find the tab key is very useless now and it's almost all using F6 and actually I had to use the touch cursor at times. One example which used to be easy was to get to the "iPhone" button to get to the device area/sidebar. I used to simply press Control + F which takes you to the search field in iTunes and then I had to tab once or twice to get to the iPhone button. Now that doesn't seem to work and eventually I tried the touch cursor and I found the iPhone button that way and was able to activate it. From there pressing F6 a few times got me to the device treeview where I arrowed down until I found tones, here I was able to press tab or F6 3 or 4 times to get to the Tones treeview where I was still able to use the arrow keys to see what was there/. I now went to the folder where I saved the ringtones, copied them to the clipboard, it was 5 tones which I copied all at once, and then I went back to iTunes where I was still in the Tones list and pressing Control + V did work to paste them and at that point they immediately started syncing to my phone which I had of course connected earlier. Keep in mind that once you connect an iPhone a prompt comes up asking if you trust this computer and you have to tap "Trust" and after that you are asked to enter your passcode, Face Id or Touch I d won't cut it here, it has to be your passcode. Anyways, after the tones had copied I found them in the list, but I like to start all my custom ring tones with the word "Custom" so I pressed Shift + F10 on one of the tones, I realized pressing F6 4 or 5 times took me to the title field where I could now type in what I wanted and pressing enter saved it, a few seconds later I would hear the tritone from iTunes which indicates an operation has finished. I repeated this with the other 4 tones and they are now on my phone. This should have taken me a few minutes, but while I did explore a bit, I spend probably at least 10 or 15 minutes figuring out how I would get where, I could do it much faster now, but it really should be a lot easier than this.

The issue is, the program is not easily dealt with. Because someone else asked for it, I did about an 8 minute demo that I put on my web site of the basics of transferring something to the phone. I use it mostly for transferring zipped audio or just mp3 files to Voice Dream Reader. But I have used it for ringtones and it works quickly and easily once you know the steps. I created a Demos page off my main page.

You can copy them from your computer directly onto the new phone without using the sync service of iTunes. In fact, tones do not sync through iTunes any more. Ii If you want to do that, I I think the steps will be easy to find, but if you cannot find them, let me know.
