There’s actually a fairly straightforward way to make your own iPhone ringtones using your own music files (DRM protected music won’t work with this method – all other music will). Apple apparently only wants you to use their built-in method using music purchased from iTunes while barring you from using your own imported mp3s, most likely in an effort to boost paid downloads. However, this simple workaround works like a charm and requires nothing other than iTunes. [Read more →]

The Little App Factory has released a new, totally freeware application called Evom that lets users convert virtually any video file (even web videos like YouTube) to iPod format for Mac users. Not only that, but it’s incredibly simple, clean, and fast.  If you’re a Mac user, this application is a must-have.  It converts every kind of video file you have – divx, xvid, avi, wma, flash, the list goes on – and outputs it into perfect iPod-ready MP4 format.  This will probably shape up to be the definitive video to iPod converter for mac for the foreseeable future as long as it remains free. It seems like the developers initially intended for it to be shareware with a license to unlock full functionality, but they have since done away with that model and decided to release the full application for free. My guess is that they want to use it to help drive users towards their other paid software, like iPodRip.  Read on for the download link and tutorial with screenshots (although… you really don’t even need a tutorial it’s so easy).

It’s an incredibly simple 2-step process that anyone can follow. It’s fast, offers a preview window, and can convert any regular video file into a number of iPod video formats that support every iPod device to date, including iPod Classic, iPod Nano, iPod Touch, and the iPhone.
