You can do all this in iTunes
put your audio file in iTunes,
right click>get info>options

then choose the start and stop time,
then click okay

then right click on the audio file you modified> click "Create AIFF Version"

Then once it has converted it, locate the file, and change the extensions from .aiff to .caf

If using windows, make sure under "folder options" you have the setting set to viewing the file extensions.

Thats all there is to it

If your iTunes doesnt show the "Create AIFF Version" then let me know and ill let ya know how to get this option, you just need to fiddle round with the settings to get it . I cant remember the exact way to do it atm.


Once you have the sounds you want, simply SSH into your phone with WinSCP and replace the originals (BUT REMEMBER TO BACK UP YOUR ORIGINALS!!!!!!! just rename the originals to soundBACKUP.caf etc). When replaceing the sounds make sure you rename them with the EXACT same name, otherwise it wont work.

You can use winterboard to customize system sounds to
place all your system sounds in /private/var/stash/Themes.XXXXXX/theme name.theme/UISounds

and rename them as

beep-beep.caf
lock.caf
mail-sent.caf
new-mail.caf
SentMessage.caf
sms-received1.caf
Tock.caf
unlock.caf

I think thats all these is to it

No worries
yeah i didnt think it would be there,
i remembered

open iTunes, edit> preferences> General> import settings> then click on the drop box that is next to import using and select AIFF Encoder

now when you try do the method i explained above, you should be able to right click on the file and convert to AIFF

remember, backup ya originals incase there are any mistakes, if you do this right you will be able to use your own ones .
and i believe there are sound limits on some system sounds in order for them to work!

thanks mate i just found a web site that converts them 2. its Audiko. Cant donvert them to .caf tho. will have a go that way.
thanks mate.

No problem, na you dont need to convert them to .caf, you just need to change the extention, so no converting needed.

so where it says song.aiff, just right click on the song, choose rename and replace aiff with .caf

so in the end your file will be named song.caf

no converting needed, just need to change the extention
