                🎵 YouTube to RINGTONE MAKER v2.0 — by 1Hack 🎵

```

## 💿 What Is This?

Turn any YouTube audio into YOUR ringtone. That’s it. No subscriptions, no accounts,  
no nonsense. Just you, your music, and a ringtone that’s actually yours.

Load a file. Pick the good part. Save. Done. ✨

## 🤔 Wait… What’s an .HTA File? Is It Safe?

Great question! Let’s clear this up:

```auto
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ HTA = HTML Application │
│ │
│ It's basically a webpage that runs as a desktop app on Windows. │
│ Microsoft created this format in 1999 — it's been around forever! │
│ │
│ ✓ No hidden executables │
│ ✓ You can RIGHT-CLICK → Edit to see ALL the code │
│ ✓ It's just HTML + CSS + JavaScript (same as any website) │
│ ✓ Nothing is hidden — 100% transparent │
│ │
│ Think of it as a "portable web app" that works offline. │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

```

**Is it safe?** Open it in Notepad and see for yourself! Every line of code  
is readable. No secrets, no malware, no funny business. Just clean code  
doing exactly what it says. 🛡

## 🎯 How It Works

```auto
   ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐
   │ 1. LOAD │ → │ 2. SELECT│ → │ 3. FADE │ → │ 4. SAVE │
   │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
   │ Drop any │ │ Click & │ │ Optional │ │ Get your │
   │ audio or │ │ drag on │ │ smooth │ │ 320kbps │
   │ YouTube │ │ waveform │ │ fade in/ │ │ ringtone │
   │ link │ │ to pick │ │ fade out │ │ instantly│
   └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘

```

That’s literally it. Your grandma could do this. 👵

## ⚡ Why It Slaps

| Feature | Why You’ll Love It |
| --- | --- |
| 🚀 Zero Install | Double-click and go. No setup wizards. |
| 🔧 Auto Setup | Downloads everything it needs automatically! |
| 🎨 Visual Waveform | SEE your audio. No more guessing. |
| 💎 320kbps Quality | Maximum quality. Always. |

## 🪄 First Time Setup (FULLY AUTOMATIC!)

```auto
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ 1. Double-click "Ringtone Maker.hta" │
│ 2. Wait ~1 minute while it downloads the required tools │
│ 3. That's it! Start making ringtones! │
│ │
│ ✓ Everything happens automatically in the background │
│ ✓ No command windows pop up │
│ ✓ No confusing setup wizards │
│ ✓ No manual downloading or extracting │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

```

The app automatically downloads:

- **yt-dlp** (YouTube downloader) - ~10MB
- **ffmpeg** (audio processor) - ~80MB

These are stored in a hidden `tools` folder next to the app.  
One-time download, works forever. 🎉

## 👥 Who’s This For?

→ You want a custom ringtone but don’t want to pay $1.29 for 30 seconds  
→ You’re tired of the same default ringtones everyone else has  
→ You want THAT part of THAT song as your alarm/ringtone  
→ You’re not “tech savvy” and just want something that works  
→ You appreciate tools that respect your time and intelligence

## 📂 What It Supports

**Drag These In:**  
MP3 • WAV • M4A • AAC • OGG • FLAC • WMA • MP4 • WebM • YouTube URLs

**Get This Out:**  
MP3 @ 320kbps (the good stuff)

## 🔧 Requirements

```auto
├── Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11
└── Internet connection (first run only, to download tools)

```

That’s it! Everything else is handled automatically. 🌟

## 🔒 What About Antivirus Warnings?

Some antivirus software gets nervous about .hta files because they CAN  
run code. But here’s the thing:

- The code is 100% visible (right-click → Edit with Notepad)
- It only downloads from official sources (GitHub)
- It doesn’t touch anything outside its own folder
- It’s been tested and is completely safe

If your antivirus complains, you can:

1. Add an exception for the file

2. Or just read the code yourself and see it’s harmless!
