Love "See You Again" so much and want to set it as your iPhone ringtone? Or tired of the same old iPhone ringtone? For many people, ringtones are one of the easiest ways of personalizing your iPhone.

But it doesn't mean we should have to pay for them. If you are tired of iPhone's existing ringtones but refuse to pay for an iPhone ringtone from the iTunes Store, then follow our step-by-step guide which will show you how to make any music as your iPhone ringtone.

Don't want to waste money on buying a ringtone from the iTunes store? Then you can import your favorite songs to iTunes and create a ringtone by using iTunes. The process can be a bit circuitous — it requires you to copy files and change extension names — but once you get the hang of it, it's quick and easy. Please open iTunes and follow these steps.

Step 1 Pick the song or audio file you want to use from your iTunes library, and then right click on the song and select "Get Info".

In the Get Info window, selection the Options tab and change the Stop and Start Time to read the segment of the song that you want to save as a ringtone. The ringtone length cannot exceed 30 seconds.

Step 2 Select the song, and in the Menu Bar, go to File > Convert, and select "Create AAC version". iTunes will take the segment you have just selected from the song in Step 1 and use it to create the new file.

Step 3 Right click on the new song and select "Show in Finder" or "Show in Windows Explorer". The new song will show up as an .m4a file. Click on it to select it, then rename the extension of the file from .m4a to .m4r. Make sure you just rename the extension, not the file.

Step 4 Go back to iTunes and delete the shortened version of the song by right clicking and selecting "Delete."

After that, go back to Finder (or Windows Explorer) and double click on the .m4r file you created. The ringtone will automatically move to your iTune's Tone library.

Step 5 Connect your iPhone to iTunes. Select the "Tones" tab from the iPhone section. Under the Tones section, select "Sync All Tones" and then click on the "Sync" button at the bottom of the iTunes screen.

Step 6 Now, the ringtone is ready to go. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Sounds > Ringtone, and select your new clip.
