拥有智能手机的好处之一是可以提供大量的个性化(personalization)可能性。从壁纸到铃声再到手机保护套，您可以通过多种方式将您的独特个性印在手机上。
然而，关于 iPhone 上的铃声，我不喜欢默认铃声的地方是它们要么烦人要么无聊。这就是为什么您必须确保手机上唯一的铃声是您个人选择的铃声。
(Create)通过四个简单的步骤(Four Easy Steps)创建iPhone铃声(Ringtones)
首先，您显然需要决定要使用什么声音。可以是一首歌。它可能是您最喜欢的电视节目或电影配乐。其他人则使用电脑游戏的特殊效果。这完全取决于你。正如你在上面看到的，我选择了俄罗斯方块游戏中非常朗朗上口的曲调(very catchy tune from the Tetris game)。
找到该音频的最佳位置是YouTube。找到所需的音频后，您可以使用YouTube To MP3 Converter [链接已删除] 之类的工具来翻录音频。但是那里有许多类似的服务。一个简单的谷歌(Google)搜索会出现比你可能选择的更多。
现在您已经有了MP3文件，是时候进入第二阶段了。
使用 Audacity 编辑
现在您有了文件，是时候将其编辑为 iOS 规范了。我下载的现有俄罗斯方块(Tetris)音频is a staggering 10 hours long!显然，我们不需要所有这些，因为 iPhone 铃声只有 30 秒的长度——然后它会循环回到开头。所以我需要使用免费和开源的Audacity将文件缩短 9 小时 59 分 30 秒。
下载并安装Audacity。然后上传您的音频的MP3版本。
现在，您必须决定要使用哪个 30 秒片段作为铃声。音频的开头可能不一定是最好的部分。例如，有些歌曲开始时非常安静，或者听起来有点奇怪。因为你只有三十秒的语气，你显然想要最好的部分。
因此，在Audacity(Audacity)中收听您的文件，并通过用鼠标或触控板拖动来剪辑您想要的 30 秒部分。
最好将其设置为 28 或 29 秒，以确保您的剪辑可以正常工作。您可以在屏幕底部看到时间戳。
获得 30 秒剪辑后，转到File –> Export –> Export Selected Audio将其保存为新文件。
将所选文件保存到您的计算机并确保它是MP3文件。Audacity会要求您将其指向一个名为“ Lame 文件(Lame file)”的东西，这是生成新MP3文件所必需的。如果您没有，或者您的由于某种原因无法使用，它会为您提供新的下载链接。
转换为 M4R 格式
您不能简单地上传MP3文件并期望它神奇地出现在您的铃声部分。如果您上传MP3，您的 iOS 设备将假定它是属于您的音乐部分的歌曲，并将其保留在那里。要给它铃声状态，您需要现在将MP3文件转换为M4R格式。
启动(Fire)iTunes 并确保它已更新到最新版本。然后将您编辑的音频文件导入其中。右键单击音乐文件并选择歌曲(Song)/专辑(Album) 信息(Info)–>选项(Options)。
在“开始(Start)”下，输入 0.01，对于“停止(Stop)”，输入文件停止前的秒数。由于我的文件长度为 29 秒，因此我将结尾设置为 28 秒。现在保存它。
要获得M4R，您首先必须制作AAC版本，其文件格式为M4A。这是Apple提供所有 iTunes Store购买的格式。我知道，有点混乱，但请耐心等待。我会陪你到最后。
(Highlight)用鼠标或触控板突出显示歌曲。如果您使用的是Windows，请右键单击并选择“转换为 AAC 版本(Convert To AAC Version)”。如果您使用的是 Mac，请转到File –> Convert –> Create AAC Version。
同名的第二个文件现在将出现在 iTunes 中。将新的AAC文件（使用 m4a 格式）拖到计算机上的另一个位置（桌面总是好的）。然后从 iTunes 中删除这两个音频文件。但请保持 iTunes 处于打开状态——您将在一分钟内再次需要它。
我们几乎完成了。要将文件更改为M4R，只需转到计算机上的文件并将文件格式更改为M4R。
上传到您的 iPhone
该文件现已完成。要将其作为铃声放到 iPhone 上，请使用闪电转 USB 电缆将手机连接到计算机。当 iTunes 检测到手机时，选择“手动管理音乐和视频(Manually Manage Music & Videos)”。
现在将 M4R 文件拖到“在我的设备(On My Device)上”选项卡上。
要检查铃声是否存在，请单击“铃声(Tones)”选项卡，音频文件现在应该在那里。
现在只需将 iTunes 与手机同步，铃声就会出现在手机的“声音和触感(Sounds & Haptics)”下（在铃声部分）。点击它以选择它作为您的默认铃声。
How To Create Your Own Custom Ringtones Using iTunes
One of the things that are so great about owning a smartphone іs thе sheer number of personalization possibilities available. From wallpapers to ringtones to phone protective cases, you have various ways in which to stamp your unique personality onto your phone.
However, with regards to ringtones on an iPhone, the
thing I don’t like about the default tones is that they are either annoying or
boring. That is why it is essential you make sure that the only ringtones on
the phone are ones you have personally selected.
Create iPhone Ringtones In Four Easy Steps
First, you obviously need to decide what sound you are going to use. It could be a song. It could be your favorite TV show or movie soundtrack. Others use special effects from computer games. It’s entirely up to you. As you can see above, I have chosen to go with the very catchy tune from the Tetris game.
The best place to find that audio is YouTube. When you have found the one you want, you can rip the audio using something like YouTube To MP3 Converter [link removed]. But there are many similar services out there. A simple Google search will turn up more than you could ever possibly choose from.
Now that you have your MP3 file, it’s time to proceed
to stage two.
Edit Using Audacity
Now you have your file, it’s time to edit it to iOS specifications. The existing Tetris audio I downloaded is a staggering 10 hours long! Obviously, we don’t need all of that as an iPhone ringtone is only thirty seconds in length – and then it loops back to the beginning. So I need to use the free and open-source Audacity to chop off nine hours, 59 minutes, and 30 seconds off the file.
Download and install Audacity. Then upload the MP3 version of your audio.
Now you have to decide what thirty-second segment you want to have as your ringtone. The beginning of the audio may not necessarily be the best part. For example, some songs start off very quietly or may sound a bit weird. Since you only have thirty seconds for your tone, you obviously want the best part.
So listen to your file in Audacity and clip the thirty-second part you want by dragging it with your mouse or trackpad.
It’s best to make it 28 or 29 seconds to ensure that
your clip works without any problems. You can see the timestamp at the bottom
of the screen.
Once you have your thirty-second clip, save it as a new file by going to File–>Export–>Export Selected Audio.
Save the selected file to your computer and make sure it is an MP3 file. Audacity will ask you to point it towards something called a “Lame file”, which is necessary for generating new MP3 files. If you don’t have one, or yours doesn’t work for some reason, it will give you a download link for a new one.
Convert To M4R Format
You can’t simply upload the MP3 file and expect it to magically appear in your ringtones section. If you upload an MP3, your iOS device will assume it is a song that belongs in your music section and it will leave it there. To give it ringtone status, you need to convert the MP3 file now to M4R format.
Fire up iTunes and make sure it is updated to the newest version. Then import your edited audio file to it. Right-click on the music file and choose Song /Album Info–>Options.
Under “Start”, put 0.01 and for “Stop”, enter the second before the file stops. Since my file is 29 seconds long, I put the end as 28 seconds. Now save it.
To get to M4R, you first have to make an AAC version,
which has the file format M4A. This is the format that Apple delivers all
iTunes Store purchases in. I know, slightly confusing but bear with me. I’ll
get you through to the end.
Highlight the song with your mouse or trackpad. If you are on Windows, right-click and choose “Convert To AAC Version“. If you are on a Mac, go to File–>Convert–>Create AAC Version.
A second file of the same name will now appear in
iTunes. Drag the new AAC file (with the m4a format) to another location on your
computer (the desktop is always good). Then delete both audio files from
iTunes. But keep iTunes open – you’ll need it again in a minute.
We’ve almost finished. To change the file to M4R, just
go to the file on your computer and change the file format to M4R.
Upload To Your iPhone
The file is now finished. To get it onto your iPhone as a ringtone, attach your phone to your computer using a lightning-to-USB cable. When iTunes detects the phone, choose “Manually Manage Music & Videos“.
Now drag the M4R file onto the “On My Device” tab.
To check if the ringtone is there, click on the “Tones” tab and the audio file should now be there.
Now simply sync iTunes with your phone, and the ringtone will appear under “Sounds & Haptics” on your phone (in the ringtone section). Tap on it to choose it as your default ringtone.
