Fucking iTunes
So, apparently any song you purchase from iTunes can be turned into a ringtone for the iPhone... so they say. I wouldn't know because I keep getting "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)" BUT if I try to connect to the iTunes store to buy something it works and connects just fine thank you very much. It's only when I right click on the song I'm trying to create a ringtone of and select "create ringtone". Anybody have any idea how to fix this? I've already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and I'm starting to get REAL pissy
ETA: From what I've read, for copyright reasons or some other such stupidity, this is an option only available in the US. problem solved. I found a very nice program called iPhone RingTune Maker. It's like $7 and does so much more than I could do on iTunes anyhow. As soon as the new credit card arrives, I am SO buying it. I'm using their trial version right now and it rocks! You can choose any song at all you have on your computer (not just ones you bought from iTunes) and you choose any 30 second section of said song to turn into a ringtone. So far I've done NKOTB's "Summertime" and that song "Shake It", which is mostly for Evan's benefit because he loves it. Once I bring my Lost Highway CD in from the van, I'll have to make one of that as well because Evan loves the "Hey Hey" part, and I just love Bon Jovi in general :) So yes, I'm a little less pissy now.
