When you see a purchased song in your iTunes list that bears the lucky bell,
click the bell itself. The Ringtone Editor, which looks like a horizontal strip of
sound waves, appears at the bottom of the window.
Your ringtone can be up to 30 seconds long. Start, therefore, by dragging the
blue, highlighted rectangle around until it’s sitting on the portion of the song
that you’ll want to serve as your ringtone. At any time, you can:
• Click Preview to hear what the ring will sound like.
• Adjust the length of the ring snippet by dragging its lower corners.
• Control how much of a silent gap you want between repetitions of the
ring, using the Looping pop-up menu.
• Turn off the fade-in or fade-out by turning off the corresponding
checkboxes.
• Freeze the ringtone in its current condition and sync it to your iPhone by
clicking Buy. Your cost: $1.
After your next sync with your iPhone, you’ll find a new section, called Custom,
in the list of available ringtones (SettingsÆSound). It’s the list of the new
ringtones you’ve bought—or built, as described next.
