Step 1:
I assume you want to set the song to play whenever that contact is calling you. To do that you will need to convert the song to a ringtone.There are many ways convert a ringtone. (Due: Note the song cannot have DMI on it. If it's purchased recently from iTunes it should not have it) I'm using a iPhone with iOS 6.1 and iTunes 11.01 so if this does not work make sure you have the same or latest software updates.First you will need to
plug your iPhone into a computer that you regularly sync with, on the account, and with iTunes open and able to see your iPhone.
Step 2:
Donwload and install this free app on your iPhone called
Ringtone Converter - Make Unlimited Free Ringtoneshttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ringtone-converter-make-unlimited/id393316867?mt=8
Step 3:
Once the app is
open. A windows with instructions will appear. You may read the instruction or may not. Either way dismissed once your done. Then click the
Pick Song button
to choose the iTunes song you want.Step 4:
A window will drop up and you now scroll through and
find your song.Step 5:
Now move the slider, or to finely move the time used the gray dial below the slider, to
choose where in the song you want the ringtone to begin. Their is a play button that you can click to hear where that spot is. (Note: the app automatically makes the ringtone end after 30 sec)
Step 6:
Once you find the spot
click convert. It will then convert the song. Once you see the Success box you know all is well and you can move to the next step. (Note: If the screen starts flashing, just exit the app and move on)
Step 7:
Now this is where you will use iTunes. Make sure iTunes is open (mac or PC) and connected. Then
click on the iPhone.Step 8:
Then
click on the apps buttonStep 9:
Then
scroll down to the bottom of the page.
Step 10:
You should see the
Converter app now
Click on it.Step 11:
You should now see your ringtone.Drag it onto your desktop, or click the
save to button to
save it to your desktopStep 12:
Once saved on your desktop.
Click the done buttonStep 13:
Add the ring-tone to your Library by dragging into your music library or click
Add to Library...Step 14:
Click on your iPhone (again)
Step 15:
Then
Click the Tones buttonStep 16:
Check the
Sync Tonesand check the
All tonesStep 17:
Then
click SyncThen wait for it to sync with can take a while or be very short depending on the last time you synced.
Step 18:
Now your ringtone is in the iPhone and you can go to your contacts app (or Phone App) select the contactclick
editclick

Step 19:
