One of the easiest way to add custom ringtones to your iPhone in OS v1.1.2 is to use popular iPhone Application iPhone RingTone Maker for Windows.Tunji Afonja, Product Manager at Efiko Software has been kind enough to drop in a note to inform me that they have just released iPhoneRingToneMaker 2.0.1 with two new exciting features: Ringtone Shuffling and Volume Boosting.
iPhone RingToneMaker, an almost perfect solution to get custom ringtones onto your iPhone is not just a tool to add ringtones to the iPhone, itis an all in one solution for creating, editing, and managing custom ringtones onto your iPhone.
The two new exciting features introduced in iPhoneRingToneMaker 2.0 are the Ringtone Shuffling and Volume boosting.
Here is what they have to say about the two new features:
"With Ringtone Shuffling, users with many ringtones on their iPhone can now enjoy the random playing of any of these favorite ringtones.
The Volume Boosting feature helps some mp3 files sound louder on the iPhone by applying digital amplification to any desired level. iPhoneRingToneMaker 2.0 is a free update to all existing customers."
It is great to see that Efiko not only working hard to support the new versions of the firmware but also adding new features to make their software that much more appealing for iPhone owners. As you would expect, iPhoneRingToneMaker 2.0 is a free update to all existing customers.
iPhoneRingToneMaker 2.0.1 currently supports all iPhone firmwares v1.0.1, v1.0.2, v1.1.1, v1.1.2 and works with iTunes v7.3 to v7.5. However, there is still no Mac support yet, it works on only Windows.
Here is a recap on how the tool works:
Start making your first ringtone:
iPhone RingToneMaker supports MP3, WAV, and OGG formats, so you can select just about any file from your music library. I had also covered an article on how you can use iTunes previews as your custom ringtones so that is another source you can use for your custom ringtones.
Edit your ringtone:
You can use the audio edit screen to select the section you want to use as your ringtone. With your advanced interface you can even select the 'Start' and 'End' times precise to the hundredths of a second with the help of a slider.
Preview your ringtone:
You can also preview how your ringtone will sound by clicking on the "Preview" button.
Create Ringtone:
Click the "Create Ringtone" button and it takes your music file and creates a new one perfectly sized to fit on your iPhone with just the snippet you selected.
Send Ringtone to iPhone:
You simply click the "Send Ringtone to iPhone" button (while you iPhone is connected) and it places the new Ringtone into your iPhone list.
In addition, you also have the Ringtone Manager to help you manage all your new ringtones. It really looks very simple to use and you are allowed to make three custom ringtones before registering which should give you ample opportunity to see how you like the software and verify that it works with your iPhone.
You can download the trial version of the preview release by following this link, it would cost you $14.95 to unlock the trial version which is a one time fee rather than paying Apple an additional 99c every time you want to add a song as your ringtone.
As always do share your experience with iPhone RingToneMaker in the comments once you have played around with it.
