Dr Horrible Ringtones

Thanks to James Bennett, I learnt how to make ringtones out of my MP3s.

So here is the Dr Horrible Main Title and the Bad Horse Phone Call as .m4r files which you load in to iTunes and sync with your iPhone.

(you may need to right click to download them)

Other songs I've done are available as MP3s from my post

More Dr Horrible

but they are too long to make into ringtones (they won't sync with the iPhone) so I have to pick which 30 second extract in each case to use. That page also has versions without vocal lines for use in Dr Horrible karaoke!

Enjoy! And go buy Dr Horrible from iTunes while you're at it :-)

UPDATE: Made the link to my existing MP3s clearer as at least one commenter missed it.

Thanks for your efforts, but it would be nice if you also had the MP3 versions since not everyone has an iPhone.

Link/coding errors

But thank you so much for making these ring tones! :)

Gary Barnes on Aug. 7, 2008:

Awesome work, thank you! Any chance you could post the source MIDI files as well? I'd love to make some sheet music to fiddle around on the piano with.

Insomnic on Aug. 7, 2008:

I found that if you just change the extension m4r to m4a, then Max and Switch (both free converters) will convert to MP3 without any trouble.

Thanks!

James Tauber on Aug. 7, 2008:

Insomnic, the MP3s are already available. Click on the More Dr Horrible link. They were done first.

F'N awesome. Many thanks for this!!

Brandon Mendelson on Aug. 7, 2008:

Thank you! I very much enjoy the Bad Horse Ringtone.

Neil Ellis on Aug. 7, 2008:

Evil Genius! Looking forward to Laundry Day as a ringtone but in the meantime Bad Horse is hilarious!

Neil Ellis on Aug. 7, 2008:

Meant Freeze Ray .... :-)

Chris on Aug. 7, 2008:

Awesome! Thanks man.

HAVE A MAC - WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE TO RIGHT CLICK TO DOWNLOAD THE RINGTONES?

Tricia on Aug. 7, 2008:

Figured the r-click out. Now the main theme won't work properly. Any suggestions?

Cuthain on Aug. 8, 2008:

Tricia, what do you mean by the main theme won't work properly?

If you are having trouble with playback, are you trying to play it in iTunes or something else?

Or are you having trouble syncing it to an iPhone?

ASB on Aug. 10, 2008:

I'd love to see Laundry Day and Brand New Day. All the songs actually!

Melik on Aug. 10, 2008:

I love the Bad Horse one, it would be great on my cellphone. However, my phone only takes MIDI ringtones. It would would be great if you could make polyphonic and monophonic ringtones.

I love that you were able to do this, great work. :)

DrBaka on Aug. 11, 2008:

Outstanding, sir! You are a prince among men! Bad Horse is my current ringtone, but the main theme is also smashing!

Val on Aug. 12, 2008:

My phone only does midi ringtones too, I was wondering if you could do a midi one of the main theme? there's already one of the bad horse one here http://moses.leifam.com/drhorrible.html toward the bottom of the page

David on Sept. 4, 2008:

Very nice. Thanks for making these.

motine on Sept. 5, 2008:

thanks!

Hubba on Sept. 6, 2008:

I use an online ringtone editor http://makeownringtone.com It's a little buggy but mostly gets the job done. I recommend it for .mp3 and .m4r ringtones.

Abdulrasool Sumar on Sept. 28, 2008:

Haha, nice work, the bad horse ringtone is funny. Any chance you could upload it to http://www.2downloadfreeringtones.com?

AFbrat130 on Oct. 8, 2008:

I am having trouble. I made a ringtone from My Eyes on iTunes, but it automatically puts it in .m4r and I can't figure out how to change it to .mp3 to use on my phone. In fact, I can't figure out how to edit the file type at all for any of them. I'm kind of new to Windows Vista. Thanks!

rebecca on Nov. 3, 2008:

I would love to have this as my ringtone. But all efforts to add to my phone in the past have failed. Could you give a dummy like me the process to add it to my Motorola razor by T-mobile? Thank you so much!
