changing the suffix

I have the Finder set to show file suffixes. I don't know if that makes a difference.

If you can see the m4a suffix on the ringtone file (Foo.m4a) then just click on it, press return, and change the m4a to m4r, and press return again. Then doubleclick to add it to the iTunes library.

If you can't see the m4a suffix in the Finder, you'll have to change the Finder preferences or use a utility to change it.
