How to Set Spotify Songs as Custom iPhone Ringtones Easily

Part 1. How to Set a Spotify Song as Your iPhone Ringtone

When it comes to personalizing your iPhone, setting your favorite Spotify song as a ringtone sounds like a fantastic idea. However, there's a significant hurdle to overcome - Spotify songs are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM). This DRM protection prevents users from directly customizing Spotify tracks for use as iPhone ringtones. But that's not all; even if you manage to remove the DRM, there's another obstacle to conquer. iPhone ringtones must be less than 30 seconds and in specific formats like MPEG-4 files with an extension ".m4r," AAC, or m4a. Unfortunately, the default Spotify songs are not in these formats.

Fortunately, there's a way to circumvent these challenges and create custom iPhone ringtones from your favorite Spotify tracks. Enter ViWizard, and there are two powerful software solutions that can help you transform Spotify songs into compatible formats for iPhone ringtones.
