How to make a song your iPhone alarm
If you want to make your alarm ring with a song, you can follow the same steps as above, but when you’re on the list of alarm tone options, simply select Song at the top of the list.
This will open a new menu for you to explore your iTunes library and select a song. Sadly, you can’t use a song from a streaming service, since it has to be available locally on the device.
