Song Sender sends iPhone tunes to email and ringtones
Gallery: Song Sender
Song Sender allows you to pick a song from your iPhone's song library and send it to a friend via email. If you'd like to use a song from your library as a ringtone, you can do that too. Install the package into your iPhone using your favorite installer application. When run, the software reads through your library, creating a scrolling list of your songs. Tap any song and you'll be prompted with three choices: play it, send it by email, or add it to your ringtones.
It practically reaches Zune-levels of squirting functionality! Small print: Fair use only. This software is not intended for pirating purposes. Use your powers for good, not evil.

This software was brought to you by the letters E. r. i. c. and a. Do not use SendSong to install iTMS-purchased tracks as ringtones.
Update: Version that does not rely on whether you've installed /bin/cp is found here.

I figured it out! All I did was made a playlist with all my created ringtones. Deleted all the music except the ringtone playlist off my iPhone, and then the ringtones were able to be installed correctly.

Hi there-- successfully added the Installer and SendSong but-- I have only managed to copy over one song-- it goes through the motions and signals completion of others but they don't copy over. However, I now have "Harp" set as my ring tone and I cannot change it even though it shows I have others successfully selected!! I have not jail-breaked the phone as yet...

Fantastic app. Out of curiosity, what is the criteria for the song list generated? It seems to group by artist/album, but it doesn't seem to be alphabetic by artist/album/song.
It would be handier if the sort could be alphabetical by song, at least.

I have been looking on the internet all over for this answer because my problem seems so simple but I can't find it.
Does anyone know how to get the song out of the e-mail after I receive one? All I get is the e-mail like the nice screenshot above, but then I don't know what to do with it. I can't do anything to it, click it, etc. What do I do?

I have the same problem as #46. I have created clips of songs specifically for ringtones and named them ringtone names but the list is not alphabetically ordered and when I scroll down to about 2/3, the app closes out and takes me back to the home page...

i love ur sendsong app. great works~!
everything works perfect but sometime i can't attach song as ringtone and email. i figured i can only attache and send the files that named in alphabet. I can't attach file or songs that has Japanese character. Once i try to send the song with japanese characters via email, it doesn't do nothing. also try to send as ringtone, it make confirm sound but the song is not showing up on ringtone list.
Sendsong only support alphabet??? will not work for other language characters???

Erica -
is there any way for the library to be in alphabetical order? or to pull up a song by typing in the name? Otherwise it's a great application!

Great app! But I'm having some problems. There are some songs near the bottom of the list that I would like to make ringtones and when I try to scroll down to them, the app shuts down before I can get to it.I've tried uninstalling, then reinstalling. I've tried scrolling very slow or very fast, but no matter what, it always shuts down. I have an At&t activated phone, but have installed several other apps that work fine. Please help.
