1] You will need to chop up the file as iTunes does not support ringtones that are longer than 30 seconds. You'll be better starting with an ,mp3 file. Download and install a free or trial version of any mp3 chopping software, here's the one I used Direct WAV MP3 Splitter but if you do a search for mp3 chopper on Google you'll find plenty.
2] Now chop out a 30 second section of the song that you want as your new iPhone ringtone. Now change the name of the track so its unique.
3] Open itunes and click on file at the top left of your menu bar and choose ad new file to library.
4] Now go to the Music in iTunes and find the new track remember the new name you gave it and as a double check remember its only 30 seconds long, the track times are shown in music.
5] When youve found your track in iTunes highlight it by clicking on it once, now click on advanced on your top menu bar the 5th one along from file, and select Convert to AAC.
6] Now find your track in iTunes again, an easy way to do this is by clicking on view on your top menu bar and choose Show Duplicates, when you've found your track highlight it and right click on it and choose Show in Windows Explorer.
7] In Windows Explorer change the file extension from .m4p to .m4r Now double click on the new .m4r track and it will disappear. When you next open iTunes look at ringtones when your iPhone is connected and hey presto, just sync your phone and your done.
8] If you can't See the file extension click on Tools in windows explorer on the top menu bar and choose Folder Options. A new menu box will appear choose view from the tabs across the top and then de-tick the Hide extensions for known file types, then click apply then OK.
Hope this makes some sence and helps.
