iPhone users are unable to accomplish this on iPhone directly, as iPhone only recognize a M4R file as ringtone, so iTunes is a must-have tool to help iPhone users to convert music to M4R and sync to iPhone as ringtone. Now let’s come to the details.
Step 1: Launch iTunes on computer, and please make sure that you have updated it to the latest version, otherwise, iTunes will fail to read your iPhone.
Step 2: Add the Downloaded Spotify music to iTunes library. You can click File --> Add File to Library to import the downloaded Spotify music from local drive to iTunes music library. And you can find it under the Songs tab.
Step 3: Clip the music into a segment. Right-click the song and select Song Info from the drop-down list. Then click Options tab and there should be fields to let you enter the start and stop time.
Step 4:Create AAC version for this segment. Once you’ve set the appropriate start and stop times, click File --> Convert --> Convert to AAC Version to create a copy of that specific section of the song. This .aac copy will then automatically appear in your iTunes library, directly beneath the original song.
Step 5:Find the AAC version in iTunes media folder. You can right-click the segment you created and select "Show in Windows Explore", then a window will pop up to show the segment you created in iTunes library.
Step 6:Rename the file extension to M4R. After locating the segment in iTunes media folder, you can right-click the file and rename the file extension to .m4r.
Step 7:Sync the segment to iPhone. Now you can sync the created ringtone to iPhone via iTunes. You can connect your iPhone to computer via the USB cable, and select Tones under your device. Check the box of Sync Tones in the right part, and click Apply at the right bottom.
Step 8: Select your ringtone for iPhone. Go to Settings --> Sounds & Haptics --> Ringtone, then select your desired ringtone from the resulting list.
