Creating your own unique ringtones is both fast and easy with Ringtone Maker. You can set the start and end points of your audio clip by sliding arrows along the timeline, pressing the Start and End buttons to mark the points, or by entering specific time stamps.

Music Not Showing:
If your music isn't showing up, remember that the Android system can be slow to update its music database. To force an update, use the "Scan" menu within Ringtone Maker. Note that Google Play Music files are hidden and cannot be accessed by other apps. As a workaround, you can access Google Music via the Chrome browser on your phone, select the desktop site, choose your song, and download it to your device. Then, use Ringtone Maker to edit and utilize the file.
