Almost everyone has had to use iTunes at one point or another, especially if they own an iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Despite its popularity, most users have reported iTunes to be non-user friendly. A combination of complicated steps makes it a dreaded tool within the iOS community – especially amongst those who consider themselves not as tech-savvy as others. If you want to knowhow to set a ringtone on your iPhone from files without iTunes, there is a company called Softorino who can help you.

Softorino launched a tool called WALTR PRO, which was named after the Breaking Bad character, and just like the character from the show, I just can’t get enough of it. The user-friendly interface has made it easy for all iOS users to not only convert their favorite audio and video files to iOS-friendly formats, but it has also made transfers extremely straightforward.

Designed while keeping all iOS users in mind, the simple tool works on both Mac and Windows PC, and we recommend using it to convert all your videos and audios to iPhone-friendly formats. Keeping in mind that the iPhone will only allow you to set an audio file as a ringtone if it’s in M4R format. And WALTR PRO supports audio conversions to M4R.
