Make
Your Own Ringtones
Are you one among
the many who own a mobile phone? If so, you may have a particular one
that supports MP3 ringtones. You probably didn't even know that, did you?!
Well, even if you did, you may know how to get ringtones from other various
places, but what about creating your own? Yes, that's right. Today, I
am going to teach you how to create your very own ringtones.
How cool would it
be if you could make your own ringtones with just some very simple (and
free, I might add!) computer software right from your home computer? Well,
lucky for us all, we can do that with just a few easy and quick steps!
This tip will guide you through the complete process. Just follow along!
Since we are going
to use software, you need to download it first. The software is called
MP3 Knife and it is available right here.
Once the download is complete, double click on the downloaded file to
start the set up. You will see a window like the one shown below:
Keep clicking the
Next button until you get the following window:
Now, click Finish
to launch the MP3 Knife program.
Or, you can start
up the program by going to Start, All Programs,
MP3 Knife.
The following window
will then show up:
Now, click Open
so you can browse through your music files for the first MP3
file that you would like to use to create your own ringtone with.
Once you open the MP3 of your choice, it will start playing in the MP3
Knife program.
Now, you can move
the slider to the part of the MP3 music file in which you want your ringtone
to start from. Once you choose that, click Select Start.
Next, select the
Begin Position. Similarly, you can select the end position
and get a view as shown below:
Now, you can click on Play Selected to listen to your
selection (in other words, your final ringtone).
If it sounds alright
to you, then click Save and save it to your desired location.
Congratulations! You
are now done creating your first ringtone.
All you have to
do now is transfer the saved MP3 to your cell phone just like you normally
would and then just enjoy the free tone. Every time your phone rings,
you will be reminded of how you made it yourself and that should make
you very happy! You can then create as many ringtones as you want with
your very own music. Have fun with this one!
