iPhone Ringtone Creation and Installation Instructions

First you will need a ringtone, so head over to the Criterion Games website and download the ringtone you want to use. Once you have it follow the instructions below to get the ringtone converted into a format that can be transferred to your iPhone.

NOTE: These instructions work for iTunes 7.6. If you are using a different version of iTunes, then we can’t guarantee they will work.

1. Go into iTunes and under “Edit/Preferences” and then the “Advanced/General” tab make sure the box is checked for “Keep iTunes music folder organized” and “Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library”.
2. Import the ringtone MP3s you downloaded into your iTunes installation by going into iTunes and clicking “File/Import…” and selecting the MP3s you downloaded.
3. Next you need to go to your iTunes preferences in iTunes and clicking “Edit/Preferences…” and then click the “Advanced” tab. Click the “Importing” tab and then under “Import Using” select “AAC Encoder”.
4. After you have made those changes go back to your music library.
5. The ringtone MP3s need to be 30 seconds or less in length. Most of the ringtones on the Criterion Games website are the correct length, but the one I used (The Burnout Theme) was 36 seconds and needed to be edited. If you need to edit the MP3 down to 30 seconds or less then select the ringtone MP3 you downloaded from Criterion Games and right-click on it and then click “Get Info”. Then click the “Options” tab and check the boxes next to “Start Time” and “Stop Time” and set the “Start Time” to “0:00″ and “Stop Time” to “0:30″. I also set the “Volume Adjustment” to “+100%” to make the ringtone as loud as possible. Click “OK” to go back to your music library.
6. Next right-click on the ringtone and choose “Convert Selection to AAC” from the menu and let iTunes create the new “ringtone_filename.m4a” file.
7. Delete the AAC file you just created in Step #6 from the iTunes music library. Do NOT move the file to the trash if asked.
8. Exit iTunes and located the “ringtone_filename.m4a” file under your iTunes music folder (”My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Unknown Artist” or something similar) you just created and move it to your Desktop or some other place on your hard drive.
9. Rename the file to “ringtone_filename.m4r”.
10. Double-click on “ringtone_filename.m4r” to open it in iTunes.
11. Sync your iPhone to have the ringtone copied to your iPhone.
12. Next, choose “Settings” on your iPhone and then under “Sounds/Ringtone” you should see your newly added ringtone under the “Custom” section at the top. Choose the ringtone and you should be all set.

That is it! You should now have a custom Burnout Paradise iPhone or iPod Touch. If you have any questions then please post a comment below and we will try to answer them as soon as possible.
