The ringtone workflow, minus the sketchy sites
Ringtone sites are historically the sketchiest corner of the tools web — pop-ups, fake download buttons, and your music uploaded who-knows-where. Here the whole job runs in your browser: the song never leaves your device, the cut previews in the page, and the fades make it sound like a ringtone rather than a chop. For iPhone choose M4R and keep it under 40 seconds (the tool warns you); for Android an MP3 works directly.
It cuts more than ringtones: pull a quote out of an interview, trim the silence off a voice memo, extract the chorus for an alarm. It even accepts videos and cuts their soundtrack. Join pieces afterwards with the Audio Joiner, or convert formats with the Audio Converter.
