Introducing RingShop!

RingShop

RingShop is a nifty little program I've crafted that will let you clip out a portion of a song and save it to a different bit rate that makes it great for creating RingTones. There are tools out there, but this is one of the easiest to use. Also, most other tools don't let you change the output quality [especially Motorola Phone Tools Melody Studio which is why I made this!], but this program does!

How it Works

Step 1: Open RingShop and click on the Load Button. Find the song you want to extract the ringtone from and click on Open.
Step 2: Now you can play around with your song. But we need to familiarize ourselves with the interface first.
The slider at the top is the start position of your ringtone. Move it to wherever you please and click on the Play button to start the song. Press the Stop button and make further adjustments if needed.
The middle slider is just there to show the position of the song when it is currently playing. You can't move it.
The bottom slider is the end position of the ringtone. This is where the ringtone will be cut off.
As you move the start and end sliders, the length of the ringtone will change. I often try to keep my length around 30 seconds as that is the most a ringtone will usually every be played.
Step 3: After you crop out the portion of the song you want, you can now save it. As you see, there are various options that you can change. If you're not sure what they are, just leave them as defaults. The defaul settings sound the best but take up the least space, which is ideal for a ringtone. So now you can just click on the Save button, and RingShop will save your RingTone!
Step 4: From here, it's your job to get the ringtone file onto your phone. I personally use Motorola's Phone Tools File Transfer Studio.
