Create a custom ringtone using a third-party app

If you want to set a song as your ringtone, you want the hook or a particular segment of the song to play whenever you receive a call. Setting the entire song as the ringtone can be quite tedious and defeats the purpose of a customised tone if you can’t even hear the desired part. Luckily, there are a ton of song editing apps on Google Play Store that will help you trim a song to an ideal length. Once you have edited a song, you can set it as your ringtone. Here’s how you can trim a song using the ‘MP3 cutter & ringtone maker’ app.

Step 1: Install the ‘MP3 cutter & ringtone maker’ app from Google Play Store.

Step 2: Open the app and select the song you want to trim.
