How do I assign a song as ringtone?

I don't have an iphone yet, but am finding out things about it before I buy.  Such as, how do set a song as a ringtone.
I have a TV Theme on my other phone at the moment.  I go into Music, Click menu, and Assign as Ringtone.
Or go into profiles, and do the same for whichever profile I wish to do this for.
I assume it's as simple on the iphone, to go into the profile for which you want to use the tone, and select the MP3 from your music folder, and job done?
Or do go into your music folder, find the song, select as a ringtone and job done?
Or is it not like that??

IPhone doesn't allow you to use an MP3 as a ringtone. You can use one of the ringtones that comes preinstalled or buy one from iTunes for 99c.
There is a way around apples limitations. Using ITunes you can create a ringtone by selecting a 30 second portion of a song you want then saving it in the right format. You can google it or here's a link to one such walkthrough:

  • How do I make a song a ringtone?

    How do I make a songa  ringtone?

    There's no point at all to getting a ringtone making app when you can do the entire operation in iTunes itself. All you'd be doing is downloading yet another app to take up more storage space on your phone to do a basic function that you can do FREE OF CHARGE in iTunes.
    If you're smart, you're sync'ing your phone with iTunes periodically to back up your apps anyway so you can just put the ringtones on your phone after making them in iTunes.
    Just watch the YouTube video I linked above and save your storage space and money (some cost money, some don't) by not wasting it on a silly ringtone app.

    Iphone will sync/manage music with one computer at a time.
    If you sync/manage with another, it will erase the current content from the iphone.
    Put everything on one computer and sync to that computer.

    Follow this DIY using iTunes:
    1. Select a title (.mp3 or .m4a) in your iTunes Music Library
    2. Do File > Get Info on selected title (Windows do Edit > Get Info)
    3. In the dialog choose Options tab
    4. Set Start Time and End Time (no more than 35 secs otherwise won't work)
    5. Close dialog.
    6. Now control click the title (right click) and choose Create AAC Version
    Note: If you don't have Create AAC version, switch in menu File > Preferences...(Windows do Edit > Preferences...) > General > Import Settings... > Import Using: AAC Encoder.
    7. When it is done, drag the newly create title to the desktop.
    8. Delete the newly create title in iTunes. <-- This step is important
    9. Rename the title on your desktop from ringtone.m4a to ringtone.m4r
    10. Drag and drop it into iTunes
    Now you have a ringtone.
    Make sure it is selected in iTunes > Tones for syncing with your new iPhone.

  • Anyone can teach me how to convert my MP3 song into Ringtone on my iPhone 5

    Anyone could teach me how to convert my MP3 music in my iPhone 5 into Ringtone?

    You can't do this directly within the device. Your media needs to be in an iTunes library on your computer. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if necessary.
    Select your song.
    On the Get Info > Options tab set start and stop times less than 40 seconds apart.
    Under Edit > Preferences > General tab > Import Settings choose AAC Encoder > High Quality 128k.
    Right-click on the song and select Create AAC version.
    Reset the start and stop times on the original track.
    Right-click on the new copy and click Show in Windows Explorer.
    Change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r. (You may need to adjust folder options to see the extensions)
    Move the file into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder.
    Delete the broken entry to the file that you renamed and moved.

  • How can i make a song a ringtone, how can i make a song a ringtone?

    Can someone please help me how can I make my converted m4 songs into a ringtone.
    Also, how can i review and validate my account without entering any credit card

    There are many apps in the App Store, which you can download (many are free) that will let you take a song on your phone and turn it into a ringtone.  Virtually all of them will require that once you've made the clip, you do something like email it to yourself, then connect your phone to your computer, save it iTunes, then sync it to your ringtones library on your phone.  Go to the App Store and type in Ringtone.  Lot's of options will appear.

  • How can I convert itunes songs to ringtones

    I have just purchased on iphone 4.  I have many songs that I bought through the iTunes store that I wish to convert to ringtones.  I have tried several apps such as Ringtone Maker, Myxer, etc., and I get to the point where it just fails.  Either I can't copy the file to my desktop, or the songs won't sync to my phone or something else happens.  I watched ste-p-by-step videos of one app and when it gets to the next step, it won't allow me to do that option so I can't "finish".  Then on another, the text instructions don't give me an option that shows in the list.  Does anyone know of an app that works to convert these already-purchased songs, or some way that I can use my songs to convert them to ringtones.  I called Apple Support and they were no help since they don't support any of the "other-owned" apps on the iPhone.  I paid a lot of money for this phone, and even more in all the iTunes I purchased, there's got to be something I can do.  I love this phone, but the small choice of silly ringtones is the only thing I don't like about it.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • How can I make a song into my ringtone? I have a new iphone 3GS.

    How can I make a song my ringtone?

    Replace the m4a extension of a sound file with m4r.
    Or open m4a file in Quicktime, cut the bit you need,
    then just "save as",
    Then rename the .mov to m4r!
    Copy the m4r to itunes.
    Check ringtones are sync'd.
    And your done.

  • Two questions 1. how can I send multiple photos to the same number 2. how do I assign a silent ringtone to a number?

    I want to send three photos to the same phone number. How can I do this without sending three seperate texts? Also how do I assign a silent ringtone to a number to block that number?

    you should be able to copy/paste more than one photo into an imessage by holding down on the entry field. When it comes to MMS, the number of pictures you can send is dictated by your carrier
    You could try using this service to create a special ringtone that has no actual sound content

    Just make the section of the song that you convert a silent part of a song (like the very beginning or end)
