Maybe you have collected much funny and cool music in your iPhone or computer from time to time, but have no idea on how to set them as SMS tone or ringtone. Here are how-to steps by using the best iTunes alternative and iPhone ringtone/text tonemaker - WinX MediaTrans.

WinX MediaTrans, as one of the first-rate iPhone iPad manager, concentrates more on media file managing and transferring, certainly including iPhone ringtone and music. Since its free trial version does not limit the ringtone/music related features, but only the file transferring amount (music 30/ringtone 30). Let's just free download WinX MediaTrans, complete the installation, then add and personalize iPhone text tone by following the steps below:

Step 1. Connect iPhone with computer via the Apple USB cable, and open WinX MediaTrans with the iPhone being recognized.
Step 2. Click "Vioce & Ringtone" to navigate to another pannel.
Step 3. Click blue "Add Ringtone" on the top to load the music file(s) stored on computer in formats of .m4r, .m4a, .mp3, .aac, .flac, .wav, or .wma. If you happen to meet some enamored or special audios online, you can recur to free music downloader.

Note: WinX MediaTrans also allows you to make ringtone out of the Voice Memos under "Voice & Ringtone" option, along with the music stored on iPhone by clicking "Music Manager" in step 2 and then directly carry out the step 4.

Step 4. Click "Make Ringtone" scissor icon right near the file name to go ahead.
Step 5. You must manually select the wanted snippet (≤30s) off the full-length music on the oscillogram and then press "OK". Because the default ringtone time here is 40s, 10s longer than the maximum length of text tone.
Step 6. Tap blue "Sync" button to have the ringtone transferred into your iPhone at once.
Step 7. Ringtone syncing finished, go back to iPhone, and choose ringtone as the text tone on iPhone: Settings -> Soulds -> Text Tone -> pick on the self-made sound at ringtone list.
