自定义(Custom)铃声是您可以自定义 iPhone 以使其更像您自己的最佳方式之一，而不仅仅是口袋里的另一部 iPhone。这就是为什么我们认为向您展示如何在 iPhone 上使用自定义铃声是个好主意。这里有两种方法，一种是从 iTunes Store购买新铃声，另一种是让您使用 iTunes 创建自己的自定义铃声：
1. 从 iTunes Store购买新铃声(Store)
在 iPhone 上使用自定义铃声的第一个也是最简单的方法是从 iTunes Store 购买(Store)。以下是它的工作原理：
在您的 iPhone 上，打开iTunes Store应用程序，然后点击屏幕底部的音调(Tones)按钮。
搜索或浏览(Search or browse)以找到您喜欢和想要的铃声。
当你找到你想要的铃声后，点击它的价格。
选择您要如何使用要购买的铃声：“设置为默认铃声”、“设置为默认文本铃声”("Set as Default Ringtone," "Set as Default Text Tone,")或“分配给联系人”。("Assign to a Contact.")如果您想稍后再决定，请点按完成(Done)。
使用您最喜欢的付款方式支付Apple(Apple)要求的铃声金额。一旦您这样做，就会设置铃声，就像您在上一步中指定的那样。
如果您在购买时没有选择使用自定义铃声(custom ringtone)，您可以稍后随时使用。付费铃声会自动添加到您 iPhone 的铃声列表中，您可以在“设置”(Settings)应用中随意设置。为此，请按照我们在本指南中显示的步骤操作：如何更改 iPhone 上的铃声。
2. 在Windows 10(Windows 10)中使用 iTunes 从音乐中创建铃声
在您的 Windows 10 PC 上，找到您想要转换并用作iPhone 上的自定义铃声的(custom ringtone)音乐文件。(music file)然后，您必须使用可以将其转换为铃声的应用程序或网络服务。使用 Web 服务可能更快、更容易，例如我们在本文中介绍的服务：6 款适用于智能手机的最佳在线铃声(online ringtone)制作器。为了举例说明整个过程，我们选择使用melofania.club。
在为 iPhone创建自定义铃声(custom ringtone)时，您必须遵守两条规则：
- 第一条规则是您创建的铃声不能超过 40 秒。换句话说，您将不得不剪切歌曲并从中选择要用作自定义铃声(custom ringtone)的部分，并且该部分的长度只能为 40 秒或更短。
- 第二条规则是铃声文件(ringtone file)必须使用名为“m4r”的("m4r")文件类型(file type)。否则，您的 iPhone 无法将其用作铃声。
我们使用的melofania.club 网站提供了这两个选项。(melofania.club website)您可以使用它来剪辑歌曲并将其保存为 iPhone 所需的m4r文件格式。(m4r)
上传您想要使用的歌曲，剪切它，并根据需要添加任何特殊效果。然后，单击或点击(click or tap)创建铃声(Create ringtone)按钮。
为自定义铃声(custom ringtone)选择您喜欢的名称，然后单击或点击获取铃声(Get ringtone)。
创建铃声后，通过单击或点击iPhone链接将其下载到 Windows 10 PC 上。
接下来，使用USB 电缆(USB cable)将您的 iPhone 连接到您的 PC 。当它要求您“信任这台计算机”("Trust This Computer.")时，解锁您的 iPhone 并选择信任。(Trust)
在你的 iPhone 上输入你的 PIN 码，让它信任你的电脑。
在 Windows 10 PC 上的iTunes中，单击或点击(click or tap)应用左上角的iPhone(iPhone button)小按钮。
iTunes 加载 iPhone 的详细信息后，从“我的设备”("On My Device")列表中选择音调。(Tones)
在 Windows 中，使用文件资源管理器(File Explorer)转到您下载或保存自定义铃声(custom ringtone)的位置。
然后，将其从 iTunes拖放到Tones列表中。(Tones)
等待(Wait)一两秒钟，直到 iTunes 将自定义铃声(custom ringtone)同步到您的 iPhone。完成后，自定义铃声(custom ringtone)会显示在 iTunes 的铃声(Tones)列表中。现在，您可以根据需要断开 iPhone。
最后，转到您的 iPhone 并选择新的自定义铃声(custom ringtone)。为此，请转到Settings -> Sounds，然后选择您要如何使用自定义铃声(custom ringtone)。

2 ways to use custom ringtones on your iPhone -
Custom rіngtones are one of the best ways in which you cаn customize your iPhone to make it feel more like your own, and not just another iPhоne in a pocket. That's why we thought іt would be a good idea to show уou how to use custom ringtones on your iPhone. Here are two ways of dоing that, one that's based on buying new ringtones from thе iTunes Store, and another that lets you create your own custom ringtones with iTunes:
1. Buy new ringtones from the iTunes Store
The first and easiest way to use custom ringtones on your iPhone is to buy them from the iTunes Store. Here's how it works:
On your iPhone, open the iTunes Store app, and then tap on the Tones button from the bottom of the screen.
Search or browse to find the ringtone that you like and want.
When you've found the ringtone you want, tap on its price.
Select how you want to use the ringtone that you're going to buy: "Set as Default Ringtone," "Set as Default Text Tone," or "Assign to a Contact." If you want to decide later, tap Done.
Pay the amount of money that Apple asks for the ringtone, using your favorite method of payment. As soon as you do that, the ringtone is set, as you specified in the previous step.
In case you didn't choose to use the custom ringtone when you bought it, you can do so later, anytime you want. The paid ringtones are automatically added to your iPhone's list of tones, and you can set them as you like from the Settings app. For that, follow the steps we've shown in this guide: How to change the ringtones on your iPhone.
2. Create ringtones from your music using iTunes in Windows 10
On your Windows 10 PC, find the music file that you want to convert and use as a custom ringtone on your iPhone. Then, you must use an app or a web service that can convert it into a ringtone. It's probably faster and easier to go with a web service, such as the ones we've presented in this article: 6 best online ringtone makers for your smartphone. To exemplify the whole process, we chose to use melofania.club.
There are two rules that you must obey when creating a custom ringtone for iPhones:
- The first rule is that the ringtone you create cannot be more than 40 seconds long. In other words, you're going to have to cut your song and choose the part from it that you want to use as a custom ringtone, and that part can only be 40 seconds or less in length.
- The second rule is that the ringtone file must use the file type called "m4r". Otherwise, your iPhone can't use it as a ringtone.
The melofania.club website that we're using offers both these options. You can use it both to cut your song and to save it in the m4r file format that's required by iPhones.
Upload the song you want to use, cut it, and add any special effects if you want. Then, click or tap on the Create ringtone button.
Choose the name you prefer for your custom ringtone, and then click or tap on Get ringtone.
Once your ringtone was created, download it on your Windows 10 PC by clicking or tapping on the iPhone link.
Next, connect your iPhone to your PC using its USB cable. Unlock your iPhone and choose Trust when it asks you to "Trust This Computer."
Enter your PIN-code on your iPhone to allow it to trust your PC.
On your Windows 10 PC, in iTunes, click or tap on the small iPhone button from the top-left corner of the app.
After iTunes loads the details of your iPhone, select Tones from the "On My Device" list.
In Windows, use File Explorer to go to where you downloaded or saved your custom ringtone.
Then, drag and drop it onto the Tones list from iTunes.
Wait for a second or two until the custom ringtone is synced by iTunes to your iPhone. Once it's done, the custom ringtone is shown in iTunes' Tones list. Now you can disconnect your iPhone if you want to.
Finally, go to your iPhone and select the new custom ringtone. To do that, go to Settings -> Sounds, and choose how you want to use the custom ringtone.
If you need more details on this last part of the process, read How to change the ringtones on your iPhone.
What's your favorite way of using custom iPhone ringtones?
Do you prefer to buy new ringtones for your iPhone, or do you like to create your own custom ringtones and sync them with iTunes? We prefer the second method because it allows for much more customization than the first one. However, buying is definitely simpler, so many might prefer it instead.
