Ringtonator, a GUI for the ringtone hack

Yeah, same problem as Parasite. Ringonator happily does its thing, exporting the m4r file, and iTunes imports it, but I think there are two problems: (1) it doesn't appear in the library under "Ringtones", and (2) I get the "Some of the items... were not copied... because they cannot be played on this iPhone." iTunes version "7.4.2 (4)", MacBook Pro, iPhone software version 1.0.2. FWIW I _just_ upgraded iTunes-- maybe they already blocked this hack?

I'm on an G5 iMac (Rev. c) running the latest build of Tiger.

I almost have everything working on my Mac.

1. took song file with extension --.m4a
2. cut the song down to 30 seconds using Audacity
3. exported the song from Audacity in .aiff format
4. imported the .aiff format song clip into iTunes
5. using iTunes converted the .aiff sound clip using AAC
6. changed the extension on the .m4a file to .m4r
7. created a playlist called "Ringtones" in iTunes
8. imported the song clip with the .m4r extension into that playlist

After doing these 8 steps, the song clip shows up in the "Ringtones" folder of my iTunes library. It also shows up in the iPhone's "Ringtones" tab. However, when I try to sync the song, it says that the song clip cannot be copied because "it cannot be played on this iPhone".

Does anyone know why? or how to fix it?

Thanks

what kind of computer are you using parasite

it doesnt work for me.. i drag the mp4 file over the drop box and nothing happems im on a ppc... anyone else

RingRong Version 1.1 is out, fixes some issues: http://www.iphone-ticker.de/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/ringrong11app.zip

is anyone else having trouble getting results with this? for me, choosing "Convert to AAC" results in an m4a file which, no matter how many times i've tried, does NOT show up in my Ringtones library after being dropped on the app. i even tried manually changing the extension to aac just to see if it helped, but no such luck. suggestions anyone?

Hah ha ha!

I just made five custom ringtones out of Beatles songs... ticking off both Apple, Inc. AND Apple Corps.

It doesn't work for me :-( Whenever I drag an AAC to the app, nothing happens. (It is necessary to have an iPhone connected to iTunes or something like that?)

fox,

thats exactly what i am saying!!!
