Off the top of my head, and I admit that I'm wiped out, I'd be
sure the files are less than 40 seconds in length. I followed the
steps of first selecting the piece of the song that I wanted as the
tone, converting it to AAC, copying the m4a file to my desktop and
then changing the extension to m4r before then playing it. This has
worked for me every time. Again, though, make sure the file is under
40 seconds.
