02 / what you get
What happens to your data
Kept
- Standard WMA files from old Windows Media Player libraries are supported
- Saved as an iPhone ringtone (AAC in an iTunes-style MP4) at 192 kbps
- The first 30 seconds are kept, safely under the 40-second limit of iOS ringtones
- Title, artist and album tags are carried over
Good to know
- Copy-protected (DRM) files cannot be converted.
- The ringtone always starts at the beginning of the file. To use another part of the song, trim the audio first.
- To install it, add the .m4r to your iPhone in Finder (Mac) or the Apple Devices app / iTunes (Windows), then pick it in Settings > Sounds & Haptics.
- Embedded cover art is not carried over. Only the sound is converted.
- Both formats compress with quality loss, so every conversion costs a little quality. Keep your WMA original.
