We all love personalizing our phones, right? And one of the best ways to do that is by setting a ringtone that matches your style. Imagine hearing your favorite song from Apple Music every time your phone rings - it would be awesome! But here's the thing: Apple Music songs are protected by something called Digital Rights Management (DRM). This means you can't just grab a song and set it as a ringtone.
Now, if you're an iPhone user, you can buy ringtones directly from the iTunes Store, but for Android users, it's a bit more tricky. To set an Apple Music song as a ringtone, you'll need to convert it to an MP3 file. MP3s aren't locked by DRM, and Android phones can easily use them as ringtones. It might seem like extra work, but trust me, it's not that hard, and soon enough, you'll have your favorite Apple Music song as your ringtone!
Now that you know it's possible, let's take a look at how you can do it in the next part.
How do you make a Spotify song your ringtone on Android? Here is an easy guide to show you how to do that with ViWizard.
Part 1. How to Make Ringtones from Apple Music for Android
If you want to set a song from Apple Music as your ringtone on Android, you'll run into a little problem. Apple Music uses a special format called AAC, and Android can't use that for ringtones. Instead, Android takes care of MP3, M4A, WAV, and OGG. Plus, Apple Music tracks are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management), which means you can't just take the song and use it however you want. But don't worry, there's a way to make it work!
To use Apple Music songs as ringtones, you'll need to convert them to MP3, which is one of the formats Android supports. This removes the DRM protection and makes the song ready for use as a ringtone.
There are two tools you can use to do this: ViWizard Apple Music Converter and ViWizard Audio Capture.
Option 1: Downloading and Converting Apple Music to MP3 (Apple Music Converter)
