  Here are the steps:

  1. Start iTunes and open/import/choose the song you want to use as ringtone.
  2. Right-click the song and choose Get Info.
  3. Click the Options tab.
  4. Check the Start Time and Stop Time boxes, then enter times for each (no more than 30 seconds apart, the maximum length for a ringtone).
  5. Click OK, then right-click the song again and choose Create AAC Version. You should see a new 30-second version of the song.
  6. Drag that version out of iTunes and into another folder. (Any other folder or your desktop)
  7. Delete the 30-second version from iTunes and undo the Start Time/Stop Time changes to the original.
  8. Open the folder containing the 30-second AAC file that you just created, change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r. Double-click it and it immediately gets added to iTunes’ ringtone library.
  9. Sync your iPhone. After syncing, go to settings in your iphone and select your new ringtone.
