Song Sender

TUAW’s Erica has released the new iPhone application, Song Sender, which allows users to send their songs via email and set them as ringtones with a single click. Once the application is started, it will read your library and create a scrolling list of all the music on your iPhone. Tap the song name, and from there you can play it, email it, or add it to your ringtones.

The Song Sender is a free download, and is one of those apps which should have come pre-installed with the iPhone. Anyway, the unofficial solution is here, and many who have tried it found it quite usable!

    iTunes Custom ringtone notes
    1.Open itunes on macbook.
    2.Select iTunes drop down menu at top left of screen, click preferences, select General, click Import Settings, then in Import Using box select AAC encoder. Then click OK, OK.
    3.In iTunes library, select Music then highlight song you want to use as a ringtone.
    4.Drag and Drop song onto desk top to create safe MP3 original version. Note you will have to import it back into music library at very end.
    5.Back in iTunes library, select Music then highlight the song again.
    6.Right click or select File from drop down menu.
    7.Select Get Info, Options, tick start time ie 0:00 and tick stop time as 0:40. Note a ringtone must be no more than 40” in length. Click OK
    8.On iTunes bar select Advanced, then choose Create AAC version.
    9. A new 40”AAC version of the song is created in the library music next to the original. Important that the new time is shown.
    10.Delete original MP3 song from library.(move to trash)
    11.Drag and Drop new 40” AAC version onto desktop.
    12.A new icon version appears. Highlight its label and change the last letter from “a” to “r”. It should now appear as m4r. Pres enter then select Use as m4r. This is now a ringtone version of the song.
    13.Back in the music library, delete the new 40”AAC version. There should now be no record of the song left in Itunes. This is very important because the computer will always search for the original song within the library and will not accept the new ringtone version if it locates the original.
    14.In library select Ringtones, then drag and drop new 40”m4r version from your desktop into ringtones.
    15.Connect your iphone4 to your mac, select iphone from your devices click sync, and your new ringtone will automatically be transferred across into your iphone4 ringtones.
