This was slow and painful, but relative to the "iTunes" way of doing it, it's downright elegant. | |

Is basically spot-on, even for OSX8. I had some bumps and took some notes. | |
I used Audacity to create a wav file. Then: | |
$ faac -b 128 -c 44100 -w --title shamisen shamisen.wav | |
$ cp -ai shamisen.m4a shamisen.m4r | |
Also, the iTunes_Control/Ringtones directory and "iTunes_Control/iTunes/Ringtones.plist" file were both missing for me. I just created them. | |
I also had to: | |
$ sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1" | |
and then reboot, since this is an unsigned kernel extension and OSX v10.10+ won't allow that. |
