Every time I drag the 15 second copy to ringtones, it says its the whole song. I am doing everything the video is saying, not sure what the problem is.

by sammylou222 March 24, 2009 6:35 PM PDT: All my audio files are AAC. I duplicate a song into a new playlist to make the 30 second version. I then drag and rename it on my desktop. When I open it back up in itunes it does not recognise the 30 second command and I cannot go in an change it. All the boxes are ticked but the song plays in it's entirity. Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong as it just does not work. I am using a PC and running Vista if this makes any difference. Thx; Like this Reply to this comment

by ezzybus April 3, 2009 1:24 AM PDT: Hi I have followed the video and it all works... (as in I can get the the song to become a ringtone) I am just having one problem, when I save the time (15sec) the song always comes up as 0 sec, so obviously wont play....How can I stop this, and make the song stay as the 15 secs! Does anyone know why this would be happening? Thank you =); Like this Reply to this comment
