"I am so excited when I get an iPhone. It's amazing and does exact what I want. It can play any HD movies or music with high quality. However, error occurs when I set my favourite songs as the ringtone. Do you guys have any idea about this?"
Tired of the default iPhone ringtones, you may have the idea of setting your favourite songs as your ringtone. However, after tried for several times, you may have found it's impossible just transfer the music to iPhone directly, as other phones. To add those songs to your iPhone as ringtones, it's necessary to have a look at the ringtone format for iPhone.
As we can see from the iPhone supported format list, the default audio codec for iPhone as well as all iOS devices is AAC (Advanced Audio Coding). This format is the official successor to the popular MP3 format and provides better quality than MP3 at comparable bit rates. It is very popular with most smart-phone manufacturers and widely supported by Android, Blackberry, Nokia and other phones.
When it comes to iPhone, the music played on it goes along with the file extension of .m4a. Which means, the music you are listening, whether bought from iTunes or converted form other resources, is actually in .m4a. While the ringtone format for iPhone is slightly different with a file extension of .m4r. This presents difficulties when putting any music in other formats in iPhone ringtone list.
MacX MediaTrans, a well-designed ringtone maker for iPhone, comes from the market leader MacXDVD, dramatically simplifies your ringtone making and transferring process. Firstly, it allows you to super fast send ringtones to iPhone 7/Plus/6/6s/SE/5s from Mac computer with any audio format, MP3, AAC, AC3, WMA, M4A, WAV, FLAC, etc. thanks to its built-in auto-audio converting feature to automatically convert these audio to iPhone supported .m4r ringtone file format.
Secondly, when you need to trim and make ringtones from iPhone music, it supports you to create iPhone ringtone just one simple click and then the personalized ringtone is stored on your iPhone automatically in .m4r without further iPhone transfer. Of course, this amazing Ringtone maker for iPhone doesn't stop here. It also works as a monster in music management (transfer music between Mac and iPhone iPad; delete iPhone music in batch; create music playlists, batch edit artist info, etc.), backup iPhone videos, iPhone photos transfer, iBooks import/export and iPhone USB hard drive mounting, etc.
