Right-click on the file and select show in explorer. Rename the file, replacing the extension with m4r.

Good day! Tell me, what and how can I open a ringtone sent to me by email in M4R format so that it is immediately added to the list of available ringtones in the iOS settings? All the software for creating ringtones that I have come across saves the finished ringtones in some folder, and then you need to upload them manually via iTunes. Thank you!

Hello!

The easiest (if that's the right word) way to record a new ringtone directly to the ringtone collection on your device, without resorting to iTunes, is Apple's GarageBand app for iOS. But if you were hoping that it could open ready-made ringtones directly from your mail, then alas, this is not the case. I remember the old joke about the Chukchi writer: GarageBand can create ringtones, but does not know how to edit them.

However, there is a way to add an M4R file to the list of iOS ringtones without iTunes. You'll need GarageBand, free for all new Apple devices, and an iOS client of some popular cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive are suitable). The quest ahead is interesting.

  • open the ringtone in the email attachment and click on the share button:


  • in the middle section of the menu, select your cloud storage(in our example this will be Dropbox) and save the ringtone there
  • launch GarageBand. Most likely, immediately after starting the application will offer you to create a new song, if not, click on the plus in the left top corner:


  • Select Audio Recorder from the list of tools. At the same time, you can sing something and then overlay it with the sound of an M4R file :)


  • Click the third button from the left in the top panel to switch to audio track editing mode:


  • Click on the loop icon (second from the right) in the top panel to proceed to import media files:


  • go to the "Audio Files" tab and click on the "Import from" button iCloud Drive" You will see the content Apple clouds. But we saved the ringtone in Dropbox, so we need to switch to it. Click "Post" in the top left corner, then "More"


  • enable Dropbox in the list that appears. Click “Destination” again and select the Dropbox that appears in the list of storages


  • Find the saved ringtone file and tap on it to download it to GarageBand. After a few seconds the ringtone will appear in the list of files


  • pinch and hold a file title to drag it onto any audio track. Pull the ringtone to the beginning of the GarageBand timeline


  • Click on the arrow in the upper left corner of the screen and go to the “My Songs” section. At this point your ringtone will be saved


  • after long pressing on a saved GarageBand project you will see a share button
  • at the bottom section of this menu there will be an option to save the sound as an iOS ringtone:


  • enter a name for the ringtone and save changes:


  • That's it, now your ringtone is available in the Settings-Sounds-Ringtone menu

Would you say that it’s faster to find a computer with iTunes than to go through this whole chain of actions? You'll be right :) We definitely don't recommend downloading a gigabyte GarageBand just for ringtones. But if you can’t find a computer and GarageBand is already installed, then why not?
