This afternoon I was messing around with the Bluetooth on my iPod Touch and discovered how to stream music directly to my PC over Bluetooth. The sound quality's pretty average, but listenable. Good for parties, so guests can play their music from their iPod. I'm using Windows Vista, so I'm not sure if it'll work with XP or Windows 7. Here are the steps:
1). Turn Bluetooth on on your iPhone/iPod Touch by going to settings, general, Bluetooth. 
2). Pair your iDevice with the PC by going to Bluetooth Devices on your PC, then go to Add Wireless Device. Go to Bluetooth on your iDevice, and let it search for devices. On your PC your iDevice should appear, then double click it to add it as a device. On my PC it asked me to install driver software, just go cancel if this happens.
3). Go back to Bluetooth Devices. Your iDevice should be listed, with a speaker and musical note for its icon. 
4). Go to Bluetooth Settings in the menu bar above the devices. 
5). Go to the Audio tab. Double click on your iDevice to connect to it. You don't have to be in the Bluetooth settings on tour iDevice for your PC to connect. 
6). Once your PC is connected to your iDevice, play a song on it. The song should stream to your computer and play.
7). You can pause, and skip songs on your iDevice, but volume has to be changed on your PC. 

Note: I was using a 2nd Generation iPod Touch running iPhone OS 3.0. The 1st Generation iPod Touch and iPhone do not support Bluetooth. I was also using a PC running Windows Vista Service Pack 2. The Bluetooth interface is slightly different on Service Pack 1. 
Note: Sorry for my excessive use of the word 'iDevice', It's easier to refer to devices running iPhone OS as one thing, rather than saying 'iPhone/iPod Touch'.

This doesn't mean we should have to pay for them. After paying higher than average prices for iPhone contracts, are you really about to fork out more money for 15-second clips of your favourite songs? We don't think this is fair and to right this injustice we show you how to make your very own iPhone ringtones for free. All you'll need is an iPhone (of course),iTunes and a swag of MP3 files.

  1. Open iTunes and select your favourite MP3 audio file.
  2. Right-click (Cmd-click for Macs) on this file in your library to bring up the context menu.
  3. Select Get Info

    This will open a new dialogue box showing various details about the audio file. Select the Options tab.

  4. Check the boxes next to both Start Time and Stop Time and enter the times you want your new ringtone to start and stop (the maximum length is 40 seconds) then click OK.

    This will return you to your music library.

  5. Right-click (Cmd-click) on the same music file again and this time select Convert Selection to AAC.

    iTunes will process this briefly and insert the new ringtone-sized file under the original file in your library.

  6. Right-click (Cmd-click) on the newly created file and select: "Show in Windows Explorer (or Finder on a Mac)"

A new dialogue box will open showing you the location of this file. Select the file and rename it, changing the file extension from ".m4a" to ".m4r". Windows will warn you that this change may make the file unstable, but continue anyway.

Back in iTunes, delete the ringtone file you've created from your library, then import the renamed ".m4r" file into your library. Connect your iPhone and sync your playlist. You may have to manually drag the .m4r file into the Ringtones section on your iPhone. With your iPhone synced this file is now ready to be used as a ringtone.
