.. but, -- send song works perfectly -- every time with transferring the rings to the proper place to the phone. It's definitely hit and miss as to whether they'll play.

I found that if you change the name of the m4a and the m4r to the same four letters -- you have a better chance of them playing. e.g. AAAA.m4a and AAAAspoof.m4r work every time.

If you can't get them to play right away.. change the four letters. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for what does and what doesn't work.. but, if you keep changing them .. eventually they will work.

*** important.. you MUST change the names as well in the plist.

Anyone have the ringtone on the phone and working under system/sounds, but then when the tone is applied to a person in your contacts it doesn't play?

I have a sound that works, and if I look at the person in my address book it shows this custom tone as the ringtone for them, but when they call, the default ringtone plays instead.

Seems odd.

I think i might have found something...
soo the length of the name.. doesnt matter.. also the spoof doesnt have to be called the same either... why the song doesnt play... all comes down the GUID number... not 100% just been messing around and trying stuff and that seems to MY issue... I tried some different numbers and got them working...

nevermind.. i created a new ringtone and i cant get it to play no matter what... so i have NO idea.. 6-7 work.. i'm good.. i give up... good luck to other people who are looking for that hidden ringtone pattern,...

I just thought I'd give everyone an update on my progress.

I wish I could tell you..."this is why yours aren't working" ...but I can't

After putting 29 ringtones on, using filename.m4a and filename.m4r as the general naming convention, I had 8 that wouldn't play.

So I changed those all to 7 letters, both m4a and spoof, 3 more worked after that...

Still 5 unplayable... So i started naming those WRGF.m4a and WRGF.m4r (I just picked 4 letters at random) 1 more worked...

Then I started appending 0's to the names WRGF0.m4a and WRGF0.m4r two more worked.. then I added another 0 to the last two and they worked!!!

I did all the filename changing in my SCP client... I used WinSCP, then just change the plist accordingly.

Hope this gives some insight to those that are stuck...

MMi Wiki Link - Prevent iTunes Sync From Deleting Custom Ringtones on iPhone 1.1.1

After being at it for hours and never getting the audio file to show correctly. the file DOES NOT NEED TO BE CONVERTED if you leave the .mp3 file extention to the ringtone in the playlist i can confirm it WILL play. the spoof still needs to be .m4r extension but the audio file itself can stay MP3 if you choose to. I've tried it myself on a CTU ringtone i downloaded in MP3 format.

I can confirm this. You can skip the conversion part of the guide.

i feel like every iphone user has the CTU ringtone.

i am one of those people too

I have spent a lot of time trying to norrow this down but did find an interesting fact... The Total time does not need to be incorporated at all.. I have a lot of working ringtones and a lot not working. I can not figure out what the deal is... I came up with my GUID by using a WEP Key Generator at 152bit... This would generate a random HEX number that I used to punch in for the GUID because I noticed that the iphoneringtonemaker program was doing the same concept.. It took me forever to get Grind.mp3/m4r working I renamed it to Grin.mp3/m4r and it still didn't work, then I changed it to grin.mp3/m4r and it worked just fine. I have no clue what is the deal but can definitely confirm you do not need Total Time or any other fields to make them work.

I have a few more ideas but my time has run out tonight Damnit thought I would have this one figured out.

I only have 2 custom ringtones... I used 0001.mp3/.m4r (yes, .mp3.. i didnt convert to AAC) with GUID 00000000000000000001 (i think thats the right number of 0's) and 0002.mp3/.m4r with GUID 00000000000000000002. Both work great.. I'm gunna try pulling out the length entry.
