The difference between IOS and Android. One "just works" and the other
is a pain in the ass.

Speaking of a pain in the ass, did you see the fifty-five step process in
the badgolferman thread just to download and set a ringtone on iOS?

On Android, it just works.

The "Chris Schram" posting in this thread is a cynical forgery, although
it seems to originate from my real name and email address. To make
things crystal clear, I do not use an iPhone or any flavor of Android
phone. In other words, I have no horse in this race whatsoever.

Kindly keep my "name" out of your gutter!

it's obvious who it is, and that person has been forging many different
regulars.

The one written by trolls making it look as complicated as possible,
while ignoring simpler methods? Sure.

Try this instead - all on the iPhone itself, with one free app:

1. Open Safari and search for a sound:

2. Tap Download to download the sound:

4. Open GarageBand, and tap Create Song to create a new song.

8. Tap and hold the sound file to import it into your GarageBand song:

You can now optionally edit the song as you see fit, or leave it as-is:

What did the original poster (badgolferman) say about all those steps?

You already know badgolferman stated that any number of steps beyond a
single step was more than he was willing to do, and that he actually
doesn't even *want* to create a ringtone, Arlen. This whole thread is a
troll from dumb asses who either don't know how to create ringtones and
trolls who want to pretend it's either too hard or impossible to do. You
dip shits aren't fooling *anyone* who knows better. : )

You could help yourself by refraining from using aioe.org. ; )

<sound of tiny violin playing softly in the distance> JR, you make a
valid point. The account security model at aioe comes from a kinder,
gentler era when one's chosen handle was more or less respected by the
other users on the system. Believe it or not, this is the very first
time in well over 30 years that some kiddie has blatantly stolen my
name, solely for the purpose of stirring up trouble. I have been
schooled. <violin music stops abruptly>

Why do I prefer aioe? I also have a presence on eternal-september, where
my account is protected by a password. However I prefer aioe simply
because they appear to be able to block some of the more egregious
abusers. Should aioe go down for a period of time, I have e-s to fall
back on.

you're not alone. that 'kiddie' likes to use other people's names in a
feeble attempt to hide his incessant trolling, using several of them in
just this past week or so.

No problem at all with ringtones on this end. You have to be one hell
of a technical incompetent to take 55 steps.

....or just a pathetic, lying troll. : )

These Apple-hating trolls *refuse* to acknowledge the reality that
creating a ringtone on an iPhone takes just a few taps and a couple
minutes in GarageBand. : )
