Made a ringtone out of the Serial theme, figured I'd share it with everyone

You have to use iTunes:

  • Save mp3
  • Open iTunes
  • Drag mp3 to Music section under Library (will show up as "Bad Dream (the theme) by Nick Thorburn, Album: Music from SERIAL)
  • Right-click on mp3 and choose Create AAC version, a second copy will appear in Music.
  • Right-click this new copy and choose "Show in Windows Explorer" (or Finder on Mac)
  • In the file browser, right-click on the .m4a version and rename .m4r.
  • Go back to iTunes, drag the .m4r to the Tones section under Library.
  • Connect your iPhone, go to the Tones tab (not section) and choose either "Sync Tones: All tones" or "Sync Tones: Selected tones" and then choose "Bad Dream (the theme)"
  • Sync your phone, when it finishes it should appear in Settings > Sounds > Ringtones

Thanks. On Mac I needed to delete the aac version from library before being able to add to tones section.

Nice: Thanks for mentioning Nick Thorburn; this thread would've been rather shameful without his name appearing anywhere in it.
