How to convert mp3 to m4r - for using them as iPhone ringtones :
This guide will show you how to easily convert mp3 to m4r ringtones so you can use them on your iPhone.
What you need for this operation:
- The mp3 file you wish to convert to m4r.
- iTunes installed on your PC.
How to convert mp3 to mp4:
1. Open up iTunes.
2. Go to File -> Add File to Library -> Your_file.mp3
3. Your selected file will be added in the Music Library.
4. Click it once. Now click the Advanced tab in iTunes (6th upper-tab).
5. From the Advanced tab select "Create AAC version". This will create a new version of your file, with the same name but other extension (m4a). It appears below your original file.
- right click on the second file in the list (from the Music section - left column) and select - Show in Windows Explorer. This will show a folder, depending on the
album information of your mp3 file. Usually it's : Unknown Album. You will find your converted file in that folder.
7. This file has the m4a extension. All you have to do is rename it to a m4r extension. For example: Your_mp3.m4a rename to Your_mp3.m4r. Also be sure you don't just rename Your_mp3.m4a to Your_mp3.m4r.m4a. This is a common error.
Note: If you can't see the file extensions in Windows Explorer, go to Control Panel - Folder Options - View - and uncheck -> Hide extensions for known file types.
(In Windows Vista/Windows 7 this can be found in Control Panel - Appearance and Personalization - Folder Options.)
After the renaming of the file, you can upload it to your iPhone. Here's a guide for how to do this on a jailbroken iPhone - "How to Install Ringtones on the iPhone the Free and Easy Way".

Okay, (my phone isn't jailbroken.)I added it to my iTunes and it shows up under Tones. After I synced my iPhone, I check under settings>Sounds>Ringtone it's only the default ringtones and alerts? All my ringtones that I have changed to m4r isn't showing up? is there a way to add it to my iPhone without jailbraking it or is this only for jailbroken iPhones? Please reply.
Thank you so much. That was really helpful
Searched for ages for a simple way to do this. Thank you so much!

AMAZING THANKS SOO MUCH HELPED ME A LOT
Or you could just drag the file from iTunes into a folder, then rename it to .m4r there. That's a lot simpler and quicker.

मदद के लिए बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद । Thanks a lot.
Go to File --> Create New Version--> Create AAC version
Thank you!!!
Thank u ..!
this is the correct solution.thanks
Hmm, Not only do I not have an Advanced tab in my itunes but there is no "Create AAC version" under "File -> Create New Version". There is only
"Create iPod or iPhone Version"
"Create iPad or Apple TV Version"
"Create MP3 Version"
and the first two are grayed out.
