Remember those good, old days when creating an iPhone ringtone was as easy as renaming a song in your iTunes library to a “.m4r” extension and then syncing it back with your iPhone? No? Well, trust us when we say that iPhone ringtones were never easier (or free-er) to create.

That is, until iTunes 8. With the release of iTunes 8 - which brought with it Genius Playlists - creating iPhone ringtones has once again become a painless process. iTunes 8 allows the user to customize a particular song’s start- and end-time, paving the way for an iPhone ringtone creation “hack” that requires nothing more than iTunes itself.

Keep in mind that iTunes will grant you to create a ringtone from a song downloaded through the iTunes Music Store, but those ringtones come with fees… and no one likes fees. Follow this guide to create free iPhone ringtones for free using nothing more than iTunes.

To create easy, free iPhone ringtones from your iTunes library, follow these steps:

  • Note: This process works with MP3, ACC, and AIFF files.
  • Note: Only DRM-free songs can be used with this ringtone creation process.
    • Any song downloaded from iTunes Music Store will have DRM (Digital Rights Management), so don’t use those songs.
    • Any song ripped from a CD or downloaded from DRM-free sources (P2P, Amazon, your friend) will work just fine.
  1. Fire up iTunes 8
  2. Find the song you’d like to turn in to a ringtone
    Select the song you want to use as your iPhone ringtone

    Choose the song you want to use as your iPhone ringtone

  3. Right click on the song
    • Select “Get Info”
  4. Hit the “Options” tab
  5. Check both the “Start Time” and “End Time” boxes

    Customize the start and end times for your ringtone clip

    Customize the begin and end times for your ringtone clip

  6. Specify what time interval you’d like to use as your ringtone clip
  7. Click “OK”
    • Make sure the song you want is still highlighted
  8. Click on “Advanced” in your menu bar
  9. Choose “Create AAC Version” or “Create Apple Lossless Version”

    You want to create a duplicate song file with the customized playing time

    You want to create a duplicate song file with the customized playing time

  10. A duplicate copy of your song will appear in iTunes - this new song will have the same filename but shorter “Time”
    • Go back to the original song and uncheck those “Start Time” and “End Time” boxes

      See the duplicate song underneath the original song?

      See the duplicate song underneath the original song?

  11. Drag the duplicate song to your Desktop

  12. Once the duplicate song is copied to your Desktop, delete the duplicate file in iTunes

    Select the song you want to use as your iPhone ringtone

    Notice that the duplicate song file is gone - deleted

  13. On your Desktop, rename the file with the “.m4r” file extension - Use the new extension
    • This turns your song file into an iPhone ringtone file

      Use the new filename extension

      Use the new filename extension

      The .m4r file is now a ringtone file

      The .m4r file is now a ringtone file

  14. Your “songname.m4a” file should now be named “songname.m4r”
  15. Drag the newly renamed .m4r (songname.m4r) file back into iTunes
  16. Drag the file over the “Library” column and release when “Library” becomes highlighted
    • You’ve to delete the duplicate song file (Step 12) otherwise iTunes won’t import your new .m4r file
  17. You should see your new ringtone under “Ringtones” in iTunes
  18. Sync your iPhone to get jiggy with your new iPhone ringtones!

Enjoy your free iPhone ringtone library!

Manhunt 2 destroying British society on Halloween screenshot

A year has passed since Manhunt 2 was released in the United States, and so far nobody has been murdered as a result. The game was banned by the BBFC, meaning it couldn’t be legally sold in the UK for fear that doing so would have an adverse effect on society.

The ban was overturned after a lengthy appeal and a promise of edits. The gutted version of Manhunt 2 will now go on sale in Britain on October 31.

HTC has broke the horrible news via Twitter:

sad news, US. we looked into it- by the time we could bring Touch HD to the says, it would be old news. we do have other cool stuff coming

Before you begin contacting your favorite importer, let me add that I wouldn’t get this too serious. The way I see it, HTC just wants to push the sales of its Diamond and the Touch Pro smartphones while they don’t prepare the Touch HD for the U.S. market, sign all the necessary papers and push the WVGA screen equipped device through carriers…

Softbank Mobile has recently scored its first major corporate customer for the iPhone in Japan. It’s a management and technology consultancy firm called BearingPoint.

BearingPoint’s idea is to help its consultants improve the productivity and enable them to get information more easily. For that purpose, the company has ordered “at least 1,000 units” of the iPhone from SoftBank.

It’s an important win for both Apple and SoftBank, though we’re still not hearing that impressive iNumbers from the “Land of the rising Sun…”

Eldar Saga announced for the Wii screenshot

Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga is heading to the Wii according to a spread in latest issue of the Weekly Famitsu. The developer of the title, Marvelous Entertainment, appears to be keeping the title close to its PlayStation Portable roots.

Here’s a list of the confirmed features from the spread that Gamekyo threw together:

  • 60 quests in Vestoria universe.
  • Battle system in real time, action oriented.
  • Customization of your character.
  • Coop mode via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

While I wasn’t exactly too amazed by the first title on the PSP, I have the ability to definitely see the potential on the Wii. Especially if cooperative play functions how I expect it will. No other details such as release date or even localization are known yet at this time.

What do you guys consider this? Are you ready for a new RPG on the Wii?

de Blob screenshot

de Blob’s rise from an art school project to a high-profile Wii release will likely go down as one of videogaming’s great Cinderella stories. It’s not everyday that some hard-working kids manage get discovered by a real-life game developer, and when they do, the whole industry takes notice.
