  • A song download is normally the full song. A realtone is normally a 30 second cut of the song, usually just the chorus.

    Depending on your phone, some won't let you use downloaded music as a ringtone.

    Here's the best way:

    1. go to https://www.youtube.com, find your song.
    2. copy the url from youtube into the Vixy Converter, downloaded free at https://www.vixy.net
    3. choose "mp3 download" in vixy, and it'll download your song as an mp3 for free.
    4. download audacity from http://audacity.sourceforge.net
    5. use that to cut the mp3 down to 30 seconds of chorus.
    6. save as mp3
    7. plug your phone into your pc
    8. copy the mp3 to the phone.

    done. for free.

    :)
