Creating iPhone Ringtones in Windows 7 with Audacity
April 14, 2013 in Audio, Music
One of the things I really appreciate about OS X is the ease of accomplishing a great number of tasks, either through the operating system, or elegantly crafted third party apps. For example, creating iPhone ringtones for in OS X is easy breezy using Rogue Amoeba’s Fission app.
After going back to Windows 7 about a year ago, I recently worked out an easy method of creating iPhone ringtones in Windows by dragging and dropping tracks from iTunes into the open source sound editing application Audacity, and saving the edited files to the iTunes auto import folder.
These instructions will assume you are comfortable, or can become so, working with sound editing applications.
Once you’ve downloaded and installed Audacity, you’ll need to install the FFmpeg Import/Export library (I’m recommending going through the following steps so you can grab the most recent version of FFmpeg):
- In Audacity, select Edit – Preferences.
- Select Libraries, and then click the “Download” button for FFmpeg Library. The download button will take you to a FAQ page. The link you’re looking for is item 1 under the Windows section. Click that download page link, and on the resulting download page, you’re looking for “FFmpeg Binary compatible with Audacity 1.3.13…”
- After downloading, install FFmpeg. Once installed, go back to Audacity, and click the “Locate…” button. (In case you need to reopen, Edit – Preferences – Libraries.) In my case, it was able to locate the FFmpeg dll automagically.
Now that Audacity and FFmpeg are installed, you’re ready to create ringtones. Here’s how I do it:
- Open Audacity and iTunes. I find it works best to arrange the open windows side by side.
- Select the song in iTunes, dragging and dropping it into the Audacity workspace.
- Once the file’s been converted (if required) in Audacity, select “Tracks – Stereo Track to Mono.”
- I generally like to use the intro of a song for my ringtones, so I’ll select from 35 seconds into the song to the end, and “cut” that selection. (Ringtones should be 30 seconds or less. There are second counters above the waveform window.) As an alternative, you can select the portion you want to use, plus a few extra seconds on each side, and select “trim.”
- Select “Fit Project,” so you can see the full waveform you have left.
- If using the first 30 seconds or so of the track, highlight the first few seconds, zoom in, and cut the silence. Fit the whole wave form in the window.
- Continue to select and cut (or trim), to selecting only the portion needed for the ringtone. If I think it’s needed, I’ll use fade in, or fade out effects (“Effect” menu).
- Once the ringtone is perfect, or satisfactory, or even just good enough, select “File – Export”
- Set “Save as type” to “M4A (AAC) Fles (FFmpeg)”
- Navigate to the “Automatically Add to iTunes” folder. In my case, this is located at “C:\Users\jelyon\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes\”
- In “File name:”, name the file something like: “RT Another Life.m4r” Yes – use quotes, so Windows gives it the “m4r” ringtone file extension.
- Make any desired changes to the Track Title in the resulting “Edit Metadata” box and choose OK. I usually highlight the file name in step 11, and paste that into Title Track. Don’t bother with any of the other fields – those changes don’t seem to make it into iTunes.
- If iTunes is already running, it will import your new ringtone. If not, it will get imported the next time you launch iTunes.
For extra credit, you can use the multitrack feature of Audacity to mix two different tracks, or the beginning and end of the same track, to create a ringtone. For example, I used the first 14 seconds and last 9 seconds of the Pat Metheny track “Ozark” to create a pleasant (IMO) ringtone. In this case, I used the “gain” slider (under the mute/solo buttons in the box to the right of the waveform) to more closely match the loudness of the last 9 seconds to the first 14.
Happy Ringtoning!
Equipment Demo Playlist
March 10, 2013 in Music, the amateur audiophile
One of the things I wanted to do when deciding which speakers to purchase was ensure I listened to the kinds of music I typically play. It took me several iterations, but I’ve come up with the following playlist, which is a work in progress. There are several tracks here I think could probably be swapped out, as listening to them reveals more about the recording than it does about the equipment. I’ll try to add notes about why I’ve included each track and what I like to listen for, as I have time/inclination.
- McFerrin, Bobby, Another Night In Tunisia – Spontaneous Inventions [Vocal, Jazz]
- Bobby McFerrin and Manhattan Transfer. I felt like listening to the vocals and McFerrin’s body percussion would be revealing.
- Salgado, Maria, Canto De Siega – Siete Modos De Guisar Las Berenjenas [Latin] *
- What I love so much about this track is the hurdygurdy. You should hear the clack of the musician playing it, the hum of the strings, the visceral music coming out of the instrument. A top five demo selection.
- Buena Vista Social Club, Chan Chan – Buena Vista Social Club [Latin, International] *
- Anything off this album is great. There’s great room sound in this recording, and it’s very intimate. A top five demo selection.
- Blue Earth, City Of Rocks – City Of Rocks [Folk]
- I may take this one out, but it’s in for now. Solo violin and percussion.
- Yo-Yo Ma, Mark O’Connor, Edgar Meyer, Cloverfoot Reel – Appalachian Journey [Classical, Country]
- It’s Yo-Yo Ma and his cello! What’s not to like?
- Ellington, Duke, Cottontail – Digital Duke [Jazz]
- Nice clean, modern recording of Cottontail, one of my favorite Ellington tunes.
- Hancock, Herbie, Court And Spark – River: The Joni Letters [Jazz]
- First of three total tracks featuring Norah Jones. First of two featuring Herbie Hancock.
- Souza, Luciana, Doralice – Duos III [Jazz, International]
- When I heard an interview with Ms. Souza on NPR, I thought she’d be perfect to listen to on a pair of Magneplanar speakers. Turns out that the midrange is too prominent for it to be truly enjoyable. The recording seems kind of thin to me. The music is great, but I don’t know that the two tracks I’ve included by her reveal much about the equipment.
- Krall, Diana, East Of The Sun (And West Of The Moon) – When I Look In Your Eyes [Jazz, Vocal]
- One of my favorite tunes, and every demo playlist should include Diana Krall. Piano, bass and Ms. Krall.
- Kronos Quartet, Esquivel: Mini Skirt – Nuevo [Classical, Avant-Garde]
- My nod to the classical genre. Interesting sounds included in this piece.
- Getz, Stan & João Gilberto, The Girl From Ipanema – Getz/Gilberto [Jazz, International]
- Winwood, Steve, Higher Love – Back In The High Life [Pop/Rock, R&B]
- This selection is all about the drums at the beginning. On the Magnepans, the drums just pop right out of the speakers.
- Krall, Diana, I’ve Got You Under My Skin – When I Look In Your Eyes [Jazz, Vocal]
- Sinatra, Frank, Luck Be A Lady – Sinatra At The Sands [Vocal, Jazz] *
- One of my top demo tracks. It’s all here. That voice, that band, that room. Plus it’s just a great great Sinatra track.
- Fagen, Donald, New Frontier – The Nightfly [Pop/Rock, Jazz]
- Hedges, Michael, The Rootwitch – Taproot [New Age, Folk]
- Papa Doo Run Run, Surfin’ U.S.A. – California Project [Pop/Rock]
- Souza, Luciana, The Thrill Is Gone – The Book of Chet [Jazz, International]
- Flim & The BB’s, Thunder And Birdies – Tricycle [Jazz]
- Fagen, Donald, Walk Between The Raindrops – The Nightfly [Pop/Rock, Jazz]
- Ladysmith Black Mambazo Wawusho Kubani? (Who Were You Talking To?) – Shaka Zulu [International, Pop/Rock] *
- I love this track anyway, but I love the sound of the band’s rhythmic stepping. You can hear the room, their shoes, the floor. Or should be able to. A top five demo selection.
- Hunter, Charlie, (What’s So Funny About) Peace, Love and Understanding – Solo Eight String Guitar [Jazz]
- Johnson, J.J., My Funny Valentine – Standards: Live At The Village Vanguard [Jazz]
- Jones, Norah, Cold Cold Heart Come Away With Me [Pop/Rock, Jazz]
- Jones, Norah, Come Away With Me – Come Away With Me [Pop/Rock, Jazz]
- Hancock, Herbie, Mercy Street – The New Standard [Jazz]
- Brubeck, Dave, Take Five – Time Out [Jazz] *
- This was the track that sold me on the Magenpans. It was revelatory. I heard things listening to this track on the Maggies that I’d never heard before. Sadly, there are some things that once heard, can never be unheard. I clearly hear the splice at 1:50. Every. Single. Time. I wish it could be fixed. Still, a great track. Listen to the piano. Where is it? Do the drums pop? Can you hear the bass being played? Can you hear the the breath of the saxophone player?
- Aaberg, Philip, Welcome To The Church Of St. Anytime – Upright [New Age, Jazz]
- Lovett, Lyle, Here I Am – Live In Texas [Pop/Rock, Country]
- Lovett, Lyle, You Can’t Resist It – Live In Texas [Pop/Rock, Country] *
- I think this track shows the Magenepan’s transient speed. It’s so crisp and clear. And I really enjoy the cello solo. The sixth and final top five demo track pick. Sixth? Yeah, I know.
A Windham Hill Records Discography
March 2, 2013 in Music
In Which
We attempt to create a comprehensive Windham Hill Discography
Compleat with associated labels, but not including the interminable
Repackaged compilation releases of the last several years.
(Or maybe we will. But…later.)
This is a work in progress. I would be remiss were I to fail to credit John Dark and his excellent Windham Hill resource at Windhaming.com. Truth be told, without that page, there would be no this page.
Latest Update: I went through each artist page from the archive.org December 2000 and December 1996 versions of the Windham Hill website, ensuring I have all the albums they listed.
Other sources include:
- Windham Hill Records Website, December 2, 2000, courtesy Archive.org
- Windham Hill Records Website, December 29, 1996, courtesy Archive.org
- BSN Pub’s Windham Hill page

It began with Winston’s albums and migrated to being a Hawaiian Music label dedicated to preserving Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar heritage, receiving distribution through Windham Hill. Dancing Cat remains an independent label under Sony’s RCA Victor banner.
- High Street Records was a Windham Hill subsidiary that mostly recorded singer-songwriters.

National African American History Month, Day 28: Venus’-flytraps by Yusef Komunyakaa
February 28, 2013 in Poetry
I am five,
Wading out into deep
Sunny grass,
Unmindful of snakes
& yellowjackets, out
To the yellow flowers
Quivering in sluggish heat.
Don’t mess with me
‘Cause I have my Lone Ranger
Six-shooter. I can hurt
You with questions
Like silver bullets.
The tall flowers in my dreams are
Big as the First State Bank,
& they eat all the people
Except the ones I love.
They have women’s names,
With mouths like where
Babies come from. I a five.
I’ll dance for you
If you close your eyes. No
Peeping through your fingers.
I don’t supposed to be
This close to the tracks.
One afternoon I saw
What a train did to a cow.
Sometimes I stand so close
I can see the eyes
Of men hiding in boxcars.
Sometimes they wave
& holler for me to get back. I laugh
When trains make the dogs
Howl. Their ears hurt.
I also know bees
Can’t live without flowers.
I wonder why Daddy
Calls Mama honey.
All the bees in the world
Live in little white houses
Except the ones in these flowers.
All sticky & sweet inside.
I wonder what death tastes like.
Sometimes I toss the butterflies
Back into the air.
I wish I knew why
The music in my head
Makes me scared.
But I know things
I don’t supposed to know.
I could start walking
& never stop.
These yellow flowers
Go on forever.
Almost to Detroit.
Almost to the sea.
My mama says I’m a mistake.
That I made her a bad girl.
My playhouse is underneath
Our house, & I hear people
Telling each other secrets.

February 27, 2013 in Poetry
Most things are colorful things-
-the sky, earth, and sea.
Black men are most men;
but the white are free!
White things are rare things;
so rare, so rare
They stole from out a silvered
world–somewhere.
Finding earth-plains fair plains,
save greenly grassed,
They strewed white feathers of
cowardice, as they passed;
The golden stars with lances fine,
The hills all red and darkened pine,
They blanched with their want of power;
And turned the blood in a ruby rose
To a poor white poppy-flower.
They pyred a race of black, black men,
And burned them to ashes white; then,
Laughing, a young one claimed a skull,
For the skull of a black is white, not dull,
But a glistening awful thing
Made, it seems, for this ghoul to swing
In the face of God with all his might,
And swear by the hell that sired him:
“Man-maker, make white!”

IT shall flash through coming ages;
It shall light the distant years;
And eyes now dim with sorrow
Shall be clearer through their tears.
It shall flush the mountain ranges;
And the valleys shall grow bright;
It shall bathe the hills in radiance,
And crown their brows with light.
It shall flood with golden splendor
All the huts of Caroline,
And the sun-kissed brow of labor
With lustre new shall shine.
It shall gild the gloomy prison,
Darken’d by the nation’s crime,
Where the dumb and patient millions
Wait the better coming time.
By the light that gilds their prison,
They shall seize its mould’ring key,
And the bolts and bars shall vibrate
With the triumphs of the free.
Like the dim and ancient chaos,
Shrinking from the dawn of light,
Oppression, grim and hoary,
Shall cower at the sight.
And her spawn of lies and malice
Shall grovel in the dust,
While joy shall thrill the bosoms
Of the merciful and just.
Though the morning seemed to linger
O’er the hill-tops far away,
Now the shadows bear the promise
Of the quickly coming day.
Soon the mists and murky shadows
Shall be fringed with crimson light,
And the glorious dawn of freedom
Break refulgent on the sight.
