Whenever anyone gets a new phone they have to go through the countless customisable options like changing sound settings.  The ringtone is one of the most important ones and when with friends they can either make you feel cool or a bit of an idiot if you forgot to change it from the default sad ringtone.  It can be awkward so just change it to something people will recognise and get yourself a proper ringtone -- it’s a really simple process.  For the iPhone there is an extra step to transfer ringtones because instead of sending them to the phone you just save them in iTunes and then next time they sync it’s done.

1. Go to www.audiko.net

2. Search for the track that you want and see if the site has it. If it doesn’t you can either go back to the homepage and upload the song yourself to clip the sample for a ringtone or you’ll have to download another track.

3. Once you have the clip you want, simply scroll down and see “Download for iPhone” Right click on the link and save it where you can easily find it.

4. Open up iTunes and add the downloaded file to your library, when completed it will appear in a separate category on the left -- Ringtones.  If it doesn’t: then either the file was corrupt so try downloading another one, or it didn’t import so quickly try this again.

5. When your iPhone is connected to iTunes make sure on the Ringtones tab it is selected to “sync all” and then the ringtones will be sent across to the phone.

6. Right so now you have them on your phone all you need to do is set them up! Go to Settings on the home screen, Sounds,Ringtones and scroll down and select your custom ringtone. Done!

That’s it! No longer will you be embarrassed to receive a call within a crowd! There are literally thousands of tunes to choose from but be wary of short poor quality versions of the tune. I believe audiko.net is a great free site, built well so we can simply get what we want with no hassle, lets hope they keep it up.
