Android User’s Guide: How To Make Your Favorite Song Into A Ringtone
No matter how good your phone’s default ringtone sounds, you’re bound to grow tired of it over time. If you’re looking to switch things up, what better way to customize your phone than by turning your favorite song into your ringtone? Whether it’s the latest chart-topper, a classic hit, or a nostalgic tune that brings back memories of a special moment, setting a song as your ringtone can make every call more exciting. Fortunately, Android makes it easy to use any audio clip as your ringtone, so you can easily recognize your device when it rings.

You can use an audio editing app on your phone or PC to trim the track to the ideal length. Once your song is ready, setting it as your ringtone is fairly straightforward. Android even allows you to assign unique ringtones to different contacts if you prefer.
