Music available to be converted to a ringtone

I purchased a song which, it turns out, I cannot convert to a ringtone. Yes, I know that I can highlight a song in my library and go to Store/Create Ringtone to find out--but how do I find out BEFORE I BUY the song (i.e. on the iTunes Store) if it can be made into a ringtone?
NB: Please do not respond by referring me to the ringtone FAQs (as others have been told in the past) since that does not contain the answer to this specific question.

Older versions of the itunes store DID let you see if a song could be made into a ringtone.
Apparently there is no way to see that, anymore. Unless you purchase it, as you did....and then find out, "sorry, no."
This itunes 9 store needs a lot of work!
You can send Apple your feedback
itunes menu > help > provide itunes feedback
Anyway, I bet you can make your own ringtones, as roaminggnome posted.

  • I am having difficulties getting an itune i converted to a ringtone into my tones folder so i can use it. what could i be missing?

    im having difficulties getting an itune i converted to a ringtone into my tones folder so i can use it as a ringtone.  i have followed all steps and have gotten the tune to a tone but i must be missing one last thing.  any ideas?

    I'm not sure how this applies here, or even if it does, but when I made ringtones for my phone (not an iPhone) I had file size limits on how big it is. Have you seen any restrictions on how large a ring tone can be?

  • How can I use stored music on my iphone 6 as a ringtone?

    How can I use stored music on my iphone 6 as a ringtone?

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    Iphone will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.

  • How to convert songs to ringtones?

    On iTunes I paid for Beatles songs that were labelled as ringtones.  I changed the extension to .m4r on a couple but they are too long to be used as ringtones.  How do I take a chunk of a song and convert it (shorten it) suitably to be used as a ringtone?  I am using a Mac computer.

    I used this ringtone trick and it worked for me plenty of times before but now it does not seem to work.
    ~I selected the options tab
    ~I clicked start and stop buttons and hit ok
    ~I created AAC version
    ~I showed in folder
    ~I renamed .m4r and dragged it back into iTunes
    Usually at this point it'll play under the "Tones" tab on the left, but now it only plays under "Music" and i cant drag it into my iPhone or into "Tones"
    I just updated to iOS6. Could this be a problem? I really cant figure it out. It was originally a .wav then i converted to .mp3 since that always worked for me. I used this a lot in the past and now im not sure why it doesnt work. HELP!
    i am running on macbook pro 10.8.1 and itunes 10.6.3

  • No Audio Playback in Music Videos that were converted from MPEG to MPEG-4

    Friends -
    I am using iTunes as the default player for all types of audio files. I have not downloaded any supplemental video or audio Codec files (yet). Windows Media Player (11.0.6001.7000) is my default player for videos. When I recently converted a batch of old music videos from MPEG format to MPEG-4 format, I lost the audio playback on the converted files when trying to play back using iTunes. Audio works fine on the original MPEG files from iTunes. After syncing my Video iPod, the video playback is fine on the MPEG-4 files, but there is still no audio. Any suggestions?

    Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

  • Converted songs to ringtones now songs only play 40 sec.

    I converted songs that I had purchased through itunes into ringtones on my sons iphone. Now when he goes to play his music on his iphone those same  songs will only play 40 seconds (same as the ringtone). I went back to itunes and in the music they show the full length but will only play 40 seconds, the same as the ringtone. How do I get the full length of the song back in itunes and in music on the iphone?

    Right mouse clcic the music in iTune library, select "Get Info", then OPTION tab, uncheck start and stop time, then OK.
    Took me a while to figure it out myself.

  • HT1947 Purchased iTunes music - How to transfer from Library to Ringtones

    I have purchased iTunes items of music which appear in my iTunes "Purchased Items" on my iPhone (3gs) and in my "Playlists" on my computer (Windows XP) ( achieved with Home Sharing).
    I want to transfer some of this music to RINGTONES so that I can apply individual pieces of music to my CONTACTS together with their photo, (achieved by editing from Camera Roll).
    Can anyone please advise me on how to do this, via the computer or using the iPhone?

  • How do I make iTunes music available in more than one user account?

    I have 2 user accounts on my computer. One for me and one for my wife. What I'm wondering is how I can make it so that the music in iTunes in my user account can also be available in her user account. When I'm on her user account iTunes is empty and there are no songs in it. I want for her to be able to have my same library in her iTunes. How can I do this?

    Hi Bob,
    you could try coping all your music onto an external drive & choose that drive as both of yours music folders. It should work... I think.
    Or just burn a data disc of your tracks & import them to the second account.
    I've not got two accounts on my machine but the above should work, in theory. Give them a try. Though I'm unsure about purchased tracks.

  • How do I move a song from Music to Tones to make it my ringtone?

    In my Itunes Library, how do I move a song from Music to Tones so I can make it my ringtone on my iphone

    Right mouse click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info”
    Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” & Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK
    Right mouse click the mp3 again and choose “Create AAC Version”
    You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a.
    Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop
    Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file).
    *Important - Now uncheck the start & stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length.
    Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library
    Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
    Note: Just in case you cannot "Create AAC version" from Step 3, go to top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.

  • Problem with Nokia Music Manager 2.0 converting mp...

    Hi everyone!
    I have a problem using the Nokia Music Manager 2.0. I want to convert some mp3-files into "Mobile Optimized Format". If a start conversion it fails and says Track cannot be converted because it is already in the target format or file format is not supported. However, the files worked on my previous computer with WinXP. Now I'm using Vista Business. The conversion will always proceed to 50% and break then. I have the feelng it's a problem with the rights to write the new file. Running it with administrative rights or in compatibility mode did not either.
    Can anyone provide help?
    Thanks!

    i'm having the same problem... ever since nokia upgraded pc suite a few months ago, and i had to get a new version due to a problem with my computer, i can't put music onto my phone using the music manager 2.0. so i've been just copying them in their mp3 formats but of course it's alot more space that could be saved if i could have them in the AAC+ pr M4A formats.
    i checked out download.com (they offer alot of free to try and free in general programs) and i searched for mp3 to m4a
    i found this program " Abcc Free Music to MP3 AMR AAC OGG Converter 3 "
    I downloaded it, which only took maybe 5 minutes, and then installed it (another maybe 2-3 minutes)
    I'm trying the program now and.... IT WORKS.
    i just converted about 6 pm3's to m4a's and it took about 3-4 minutes. try it !
