iRinger – create free iPhone ringtones from music or video files

One of my biggest complaints about the iPhone is the Apple lockdown on using your own music as a ringtone. Even music officially purchased from the iTunes music store can’t be used as a ringtone. Being asked to spend $1 for 30 seconds of a song is just silly.

Thankfully there are several alternatives, including the one I’ll link to today. iRinger is a (windows only) ringtone editor for the iPhone which allows you to select portions of a song or video file.

The application is free, but the developer asks that you consider donating $10 to unlock some extra features.

You can find iRinger here.
