- Select a track to use as the source.
- On the Get Info > Options tab set start and stop times to 40 seconds or less
- Use File > Convert > Create AAC version.
- Right-click on the new copy and click Show in Windows Explorer or Finder.
- Change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r. (You may need to adjust folder options to see the extensions.)
- Now connect your phone and drag the m4r file to it.
