Part 1. Can You Make Apple Music Ringtones?

You can't use regular Apple Music songs as ringtones on your device because ringtones have a very specific file format and length. However, you can see if you can find the ringtone you want to use in the iTunes Store's ringtone store. In the iTunes Store app, you can purchase ringtones, text message tones, other clock alarm tones, and more. Or, if you purchased the music from the iTunes Store, you can use iTunes to convert it to MP3 or other ringtone-enabled audio formats so that you can use it as a ringtone on your device.

But please note that if you download songs from Apple Music, then unfortunately you cannot use them to make ringtones. This is because Apple Music songs are encoded in M4P format, which is different from the popular ringtone format. The ringtone formats supported by Android are MP3, M4A, WAV and OGG. iPhone uses the .m4r file format, which has the AAC audio codec. This means that you need to convert Apple Music songs to DRM-free files in AAC format. Then you can use iTunes to change it to M4R and make iPhone ringtones.

But don't worry, DRmare Apple Music Converter lets you do just that. The table below will give you a clear idea.
