Nobody wants a boring ringtone to go with their fancy new phone and thanks to the latest technology it’s easy to find iPhone ringtone downloads that are unique. There are several different ways to trick out your phone with the hottest songs for little to no money!
iTunes Ringtones Without The Cost
If you’re unwilling to pay up to 3 bucks a song for iPhone ringtone downloads you can get around this by using the iTunes stores song preview as your ringtone. While Apple has tried to released updates to prevent this from happening, hackers have been able to figure out a way create a download from the actual song preview.
The downside to this is the potential that it won’t work correctly and of course this isn’t a long term solution. Apple will undoubtedly be able to find a way to fix the glitch in the system and prevent people from doing this in the future.
Another way to get iPhone downloads for free right inside iTunes is by changing the file extension. This sounds complicated but it’s actually very easy for users to do even if they don’t have much knowledge of how file extensions work.
All music downloads in a users iTunes library have the file extension AAC or MP3. All official iTunes purchased iPhone ringtone downloads have a M4R extension. Therefore, all you have to do to get the song you want to show up in the ringtones section of iTunes is change the extension to M4R then you can sync them to your iPhone like you would any other ringtones.
Be Your Own DJ
If you want really unique sounding ringtones and you’re tech savvy, you can actually slice up a song from your library on a third party site and upload it to your iPhone. Some website allow users to upload their songs and add effects like fading in and out, sound effects, and slicing up and remixing songs that are already in your iTunes library.
Programs like Audacity allow you to slice up your songs and save the remix them back into your iTunes then you simply rename with the M4R extension. This seems like a lot of trouble but it may beat paying Apple every time you want new iPhone ringtone downloads for your phone!
iPhone users should be careful when going through third party sites for iPhone ringtone downloads. Not every ringtone site is compatible with the iphone software and can result in a big waste of time or money. It’s also important to be careful when playing around with slicing up and converting file formats on songs you’ve already purchased as is possible that it could cause problems when it’s downloaded to your phone.

The launch of iPhone 3G has gotten users excited about purchasing the latest songs to put add to download iPhone ringtones. iPhones have been set up by Apple so that users can download iPhone ringtones directly from iTunes. This was a lucrative move on their part because not only do they charge users to download songs from their store they also charge them an additional 99 cents to use the songs users previously bought as a ringtone.
How it works
In order to download ringtones users must first download iTunes, the download is available on Apple’s website. Once they have downloaded the iTunes application, users must navigate to the iTunes store and search for the songs they want to use as iPhone ringtones.
After they have searched for and downloaded the songs they want to use as ringtones, the user must sync their iPhone. First they must select what they want to sync by choosing the ‘ringtones’ tab under the menu. Then they can choose a song they downloaded as a ringtone, which can cost up to three dollars for full permissions, or they can choose one from their library and pay the additional amount to be allowed to use it as a ringtone.
The iTunes ringtone application allows you to download iPhone ringtones and then select up to 30 seconds of the song as the ringtone. Users can basically edit the song down to whatever part they want and are able to have as many ringtones on their phone as they like and they never expire.
Other Options
What should iphone users who don’t want to go through iTunes look for when choosing where they will download iPhone ringtones? Credibility of the site, first and foremost, as users don’t want to download from any sites that might be harm their phones. iPhones are far too expensive to risk ruining them by downloading a virus or spyware from a shady website.
Legitimate sites will take security measures like assigning users a username and password; this prevents hackers from logging on. Another thing good ringtones websites will have is a customer service, that way if something does go wrong when you download iPhone ringtones users can call and be advised on how to fix the problem.
Compatibility with the iPhone is also very important when choosing a site to download iPhone ringtones. Users should make absolutely sure that the ringtones they download will be compatible with the iPhone and will be able to be used as iPhone ringtones.
