As part of our resource, we will consider - iPhone ringtone format and its features. As it turns out, all iPhones only work with one ringtone format. This is such a finicky phone.
A Brief History of Ringtone Formats
Almost with the advent of the first mobile phones Ringtones became fashionable among users. For those who don't know, ringtones are short melodies that are set as a phone ringtone. One of the first ringtone formats was the Midi format; later phones appeared that supported the Mp3, Ogg and Wav formats. In my opinion, Mp3 has become the most popular not only music format, but also a format for ringtones for phones and smartphones of various brands. To this day, the Mp3 format is supported by many phone models. Convenient, of course - I cut off a piece of an Mp3 with a software audio editor, threw it into my phone and enjoy my favorite song when they call you. As they say, quickly, simply and conveniently.
iPhone ringtone format
Apple, like its founder Steve Jobs, have always been distinguished by their view of the world, and especially their view of the media industry. That's why they chose their own ringtone format for iPhone phones. If you are the owner of an iPhone 2G, 3G, 3Gs, 4, 4S, 5 or 5S, then know the ringtone format for all iPhones - M4R. That is, all the ringtones that you will download to your iPhone will look something like this - “ RingtoneName.m4r" The M4R format is also used in ringtones for iPad tablets and iPod touch players.
I think Apple uses the M4r ringtone format rather than Mp3 for several reasons:
- Wants to sell licensed ringtones, giving ringtone makers the opportunity to earn money
- Wants to draw attention to licensing problems in order to sell more effectively, make the world a better place and all that
- Wants to stand out from all formats, promotes PR, making users drool and talk about Apple
Where to get ringtones in M4r format
If you try to simply edit the Mp3 extension to M4r, then such a melody in iPhone ringtones won't load. In order for the iPhone to “swallow” your ringtone and set it as a ringtone, you need a ready-made or converted ringtone in M4r format, which can be obtained in the following places:
- The first thing the user does is surf the Internet in search of ready-made M4r ringtones for iPhone, using search engines
- If a favorite melody on the Internet is not found on the Internet, then he makes a ringtone himself, using, which can make ringtones and download them to the iPhone. The program converts Mp3 to M4r and downloads the resulting melodies to the phone, whoever wants to try it -.
- It happens that the owner of an iPhone is still poorly versed and cannot make a ringtone in iTunes, for example, he forgets during the creation process. Then he searches special programs and services for creating ringtones for your iPhone. Get acquainted with the capabilities of , or other ringtone makers that allow you to make your own ringtone in M4r format.
- Another place where you can buy a ringtone is the store iTunes Store, which sells ready-made ringtones for money. To buy a ringtone in electronic store Apple will need an Apple ID with a linked card or top-up account. The cost of a licensed ringtone is 10, 15, 19 rubles.
