Here’s how to set an Apple Music song as a ringtone for your iPhone:
Due to digital rights management (DRM), songs from Apple Music cannot be directly converted into ringtones. You can create a custom ringtone if you’ve purchased a song from iTunes. You can also use a DRM-free MP3 file for this purpose.
If you want to create a ringtone from an Apple Music song, make sure it’s DRM-free. Alternatively, convert it to an eligible format.
Steps to Set a Song as a Ringtone on iPhone
1. Purchase the Song (If Necessary)
- Open the iTunes Store on your iPhone.
- Search for the song and purchase it (this ensures it’s DRM-free and can be converted into a ringtone).
2. Use Ringtone Maker – MP3 Converter
The Ringtone Maker – MP3 Converter simplifies the process of creating a ringtone.
- Download the App: Install the app from the App Store.
- Import the Song: Use the app to locate and select the purchased song.
- Trim the Audio: Edit the track to create a 30-second clip.
- Export as Ringtone: Follow the app’s steps to save and set the ringtone.
3. Use GarageBand
- Import the Song: Open GarageBand and add the purchased song from your library.
- Trim to 30 Seconds: Use the editing tools to select the desired section of the track.
- Export as Ringtone: Save the clip as a ringtone and set it directly in your iPhone’s settings.
Set the Ringtone on Your iPhone
Once the ringtone is created:
- Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone.
- Select the new ringtone from the list.
While you can’t use streaming songs from Apple Music as ringtones due to DRM, purchased songs or DRM-free files can easily be converted. Apps like Ringtone Maker – MP3 Converter and GarageBand make it easy to create and set custom ringtones from eligible songs.
