Position the song by dragging it left or right (However, you should make sure it is all the way to left. By doing so, the start of the song will be matched with the 0:00 time marker above.)
Set the length of your ringtone by “Cycle Region” (the small yellow bar above the audio graphic), which will can be adjusted by grabbing and dragging either end (above the Cycle Region bar, users can measure the time directly thanks to the time marker.)
Listen to the section you currently have included in the Cycle Region, press the Space Bar on your computer. Pressing it again will stop the playback of the selection.
It is worth making a small note that ringtones should be set within the first 20 seconds and should not be over 40 seconds.
