Best Answer

The amount received from sales through the iTunes store will vary depending on the particular circumstances of the artists. If signed to a record label that is responsible for distributing their music they will have an individual contract that will state the percentage they receive; this can be as low as 10% of the sales value. An independent artist can organise their own distribution and can receive up to 90% of the sales value, after an initial one off payment to organise the uploads (See links below), but will have to pay all the promotional/advertising costs etc. themselves.

How do you set a song for the iPhone's ringtone?

You can not set a whole song as your iPhone ringtone because iPhone ringtone is up to 30 seconds long.If you really like a song and want to set it as your ringtone, you can buy it from iTunes store for $0.99 or you can also make ringtones by yourself. For mac users, you can use iPhone Ringtone Maker for Mac..There are two ways: 1. Simply go to the iTunes store and there, you can purchase ringtones for 99p (in the UK, not sure about in the USA) and it will appear in the 'Ringtones' section in your Library2. For custom ringtones, if it is in MP3 format, convert it into AAC, open up finder/windows explorer then change the extension from .m4a/.aac to .m4r, then reopen it with iTunes and it'll be recognised as a ringtone.More is available at the related links belowTo create ringtones for the iPhone, you can use many songs available for purchase at the iTunes store. On a Mac computer, you can also use the Garage Band application to create custom ringtones from any song you can play in iTunes.The easiest way is to use iTunes to clip the song. There are other software programs that can do this too. Without altering the iPhone, you pretty much have to use iTunes to do this.Well, normally you can buy the song from iTunes store and then pay another $0.99 to make it as your ringtone.If you are a Mac user you can try some 3-party software like, Garageband, Wonderahre iPhone Ringtone Maker for Mac, which can make custom iPhone ringtone for free.You can get more from the related links below.All you have to do is go to your itunes library pick the song and itll give you options but make sure ur iPhone is plugged in to the computer. Hope This Helps. :)You must purchase the song seperately through iTunes as a ring tone. It's lame but it's the only way to do it. I think it costs .99 centsYou can use iTunes, but that comes with fees, there are also a lot of 3-party software, if you are a Mac user, you can try Wondershare iPhone Ringtone Maker for Mac.check the related link below:First you need to transfer the song to your computer, if you are a Mac user, you can use iPhone ringtone Maker for Mac.For more details, you can check the related link about how to make custom iPhone ringtone on Mac below
