Tips for Good Ringtones

• Keep it under 40 seconds — most calls are answered within 15 seconds anyway • Start with a distinctive sound — you need to hear it in a noisy room • Avoid starting with silence — the ringtone should be audible immediately • End cleanly — if the ringtone loops, a clean ending prevents awkward jumps • Test at low volume — what sounds great on headphones might be inaudible as a ringtone

Streaming services use DRM-protected files that can't be loaded into editors. You need an actual MP3, WAV, or FLAC file. Purchase the song from iTunes or Amazon Music to get a DRM-free file.
