Apple is all about the iPhone today. The long-awaited ringtone-making service for our iPhones is finally here. Steve Jobs announced the new Ringtone tab in iTunes that would enable the user to create a custom ringtone (complete with fade-in and fade-out effects) from one of 500,000 compatible songs.
The service will be piggy-backed onto a song purchase – which means that you will have to purchase a song at $0.99 and then create a custom ringtone for another $0.99. Here’s how it goes:
- Download/buy your song. ($0.99)
- Click the “Ringtone” tab in iTunes.
- Choose which portion of the song you want to hear on your iPhone’s ringer, add fading effects.
- Click “Buy” to upload to your iPhone with ease. ($0.99)
- Total cost for making a custom ringtone for your iPhone? $1.98
We’re not yet sure if ringtones can be created from previously purchased songs for $0.99, but we sure hope that’s the case. The new service should go live next week.
