If you have an MP3 that you’d like to use for your iPhone the script below will help you get that file into your ringtone options.

ConvertMP3_To_iPhone.sh
#!/bin/sh

DIR=$1
 
mkdir -p $DIR/iPhone
 
cd $DIR
for f in *.mp3
do
  filename="$(basename -- "$f")"
  extension="${filename##*.}"
  filename="${filename%.*}"
  afconvert "$f" -o "iPhone/$filename.m4r" -f m4af -d aac
done
Use ConvertMP3_To_iPhone.sh
sh ConvertMP3_To_iPhone.sh /Users/MyUser/Desktop/sounds

Then you can copy the .m4r files into iTunes Tones directory/screen and sync with your phone.
