If anyone here listens to TWIT (This week in tech), you'll know that at the end of the podcasts, they do this old school nokia ringtone with their voices.

Not sure how to explain it, but if you listen to the podcast (#23) it's at approximately 1:16:10 til 1:16:31


anyone know how to make a short mp3 clip of that, or just the nokia tone part in a loop with a 1 second gap like the ringtone on oldschool nokias? i think it's just hilarious and i can relive my oldschool nokia days in a totally geeky way!

You should be able to do that right from itunes. Just get info on the file, enter the start + end times you have, then convert selection to the format you want.

pac head, does this shrink down the file size from a hour and a half long program, to the filesize of something that lasts only a few seconds? i would hate to keep the entire file, with a tag to have it play only a few seconds in a loop. will itunes let me chop the entire thing into a soundbite? thanks

Try it and see.

(Yes, setting the start and end points of a file and then selecting "convert to [whatever]" will only convert that section of the audio file.)

yes. just do it already and see.

select the start/stop points, then "convert song to mp3" (make sure you've already set your importing to make it a reasonably sized(kb) file, ie lower bitrate, etc)

the resulting song will be your ringtone

Just get a copy of Audio Hijack Pro and you can do a lot of stuff like that.
It's becoming my favorite Audio Software. I can make an 8 hour iTunes playlist from my AIFF files and use EQ and the mixing feature and make an MP3 version as 1 file that I put on a CD.
I can play back an iTunes "Radio" station and then scan thru the files for tunes I want and grab those too.
