Fresh off the assembly line, with that new car smell, I’m proud to announce Mojotones 1.2. Besides the usual bug fixes, the big thing in this release is support for MP3 ringtones. To use it, you’ll first have to download and install a Quicktime MP3 encoder component. Details and instructions are available here.Download it and take it around the block. If it works with your phone, please consider buying a license.Thanks, and enjoy!
With all the recent hubbub, I’ve gotten a few questions about Mojotones and iPhone ringtones. The short answer, is that, Mojotones doesn’t directly support them. However, I’ve helped a customer find a workaround. First, set your Mojotones preferences to use AAC as the export format. Then, find the track you want, set your desired range, and choose Save Track As… from under the File menu to save the ringtone to your Desktop. Finally use one of the free utilities that have been released lately to convert it into an iPhone ringtone (here is news about one I read just today — just make sure your iPhone is plugged in when you use it).I’d like to build more direct iPhone support into a future release, but it’ll have to wait until I can get one here in Canada.
Update: Mojotones 2.0 easily creates iPhone ringtones. Read about it here.
