Setting Ringtone: Same Song, Different Ringtone "Highlights"

[monicakm]

I've had to resort to using a voice recorder app on my phone to record a song on Youtube for my ringtone. The song can only be purchased and downloaded on iTunes (which I don't have and won't put on my phone). I recorded the same song twice. The first time I didn't think to up the sample rate and it recorded at 16kHz. I re-recorded at 44.1kHz. Using the "Highlights" feature to choose the highlight (or chorus) for my ringtone, the two different recordings (of the same song) use a different part of the song as the "highlight" Has anyone run into this? I can't think of a way for the phone to re-adjust what it considers the "highlight" part of the song. And as luck would have it, the higher sample rate version is the one that starts the "highlight" a few bars early I'm pretty sure I'm out of luck trying to rectify this but maybe I'm over looking something.
Thanks!

Normally I'd just use Wave Editor on a PC to get the sound clip I want from the music file. It's just a 30sec job on audio editing software.

Yes me too. Try downloading Audacity on your PC. It is free and fully functional for just about any audio situation. Export edited clip to 128kbps mp3 file. Done.

I read Chanchan's message earlier this morning. It reminded me that I used to use Audacity to do this prior to my Galaxy S5. I didn't have my thinking cap on last night

cyberdman, I'll download the new version. I haven't put it back on my computer since a hdd failure last Fall.

Thanks guys!

Done! Sounds better too with Audacity's effects. Forgot about the added lame.dll file but I had it saved on the hdd.
Thanks again for the "reminders"
