Hello Listers,
I know that many people here asked about making ringtones and I thought I post this. I have the "App of the Day" app. It's a free app and each day at some point in the morning you get a push notification about an app that is free for that day. I know there are many other apps like this out there, but today the free app is called "Rington Architect". It allows you to create ringtones from your music library on your iPhone. It seems the app is quite accessible. When you first open it you have 3 choices, "Creat RingTones", "Manage RingTones" and "btn Help". If you double tap on Create Ringon all the songs on you riPhone are displayed in alphabetical order. Pick one and you see a screen with the song title and length at the top. Then you have a time readout on the left with a < "less than symbol" to the left and a > "greater than symbol" to the right. That time that is displayed on the left is your start time and by default it is 0 seconds. If you swipe right past the > symbol, you see the duration which by default is 40 seconds, the maximum length a rington can be. To the right of that is your end time and it once again has a < and a > on each side so you can double tap on either one and adjust it. If, for example, the start time is 0 then the end time is 40 seconds as the ringtone is 40 seconds long. You can double tap on the < symbol to the left of the end time read out and change the end time, for example, to 38 seconds, then this automatically reduces the length to 38 seconds as well. If you make the start time greater than 0 seconds, e.g. you double tap on the > sign to the right of the start time and set it to 5 seconds, the end time automatically goes to 45 seconds. The increments are super tiny, only one tenth of a second, so if you want to change the start time to 10 seconds you have to do a lot of tapping, 10 taps only changes it by 1 second. It's easiest to split tap, i.e. find the > symbol to the right of the start time, hold a finger on it and tap with a second finger, you can tap pretty much as fast as you like as long as you don't move the finger on the > symbol. The app also fades the song at the end and you can set that, I haven't played around it it, though. Then at the bottom you have a "Play" and "Save" button. Once you adjusted the time the way you want you an play the ringtone and it will play the part of the song you selected. If you like it the way it is you can double tap on Save, if not adjust start and end time until you are satisfied. After you save it, double tap OK, then go back at the top left of the screen and go to "Manage Ringtones". Here you can rename the ringtone or email it to you in order to copy it into youriTunes library. You can also use iTunes File Sharing to grab the ringtones from your phone and copy them into the ringtones folder. Only thing that so far I found is not accessible is the file name of your ringtone. Voiceover doesn't read anything, but if you create one at a time and email it to you, then delete it it's not a problem and if I have time I'll write to the developer and ask if he could take a look at making that accessible. I am sure it won't hurt if others do so as well, but overall this seems to be accessible and easy to use. I also downloaded Ringtone Wizard Pro which was free on the App of the Day promo a few weeks ago. It basically works the same way, but the interface seems a bit more cluttered. Oh, and Ringtone Architect is by a developer called "Mix1009" and it retains whatever quality the original song was for the ringtone.
