iTunes 7.4 is available

After a brief delay, iTunes 7.4 is finally available for download. We knew this version would include ringtones, but here's the official word from Apple:

"With iTunes 7.4, sync your favorite music and more with the new iPod nano (third generation), iPod classic, and iPod touch, plus create custom ringtones exclusively for iPhone with many of your favorite songs purchased from the iTunes Store. You can now also play purchased videos with closed captioning (when available), easily rate your favorite albums from one to five stars, and watch videos at a larger size inside the iTunes window."

Go and get it, music fans!

Update: Several readers are unable to get Apple's ringtone feature working. Also, people have had varying success with their own ringtones. What has your experience been?

I installed several ringtones with iFuntastic 3 after a full restore. They are still present after a sync with iTunes 7.4.

i had ringtones added through ifuntastic 2.5 (3.0.3 is NOT an improvement), and i synced my iphone with itunes 7.4 without having ringtones deleted. of course, i made sure to uncheck the "sync ringtones" box before syncing...

The ability to rate albums independently of its tracks is a nice feature, but I would've rather seen that space used for "average rating" and "average number of plays" data.

While they aren't being very clear about it, Apple buried a statement in the Wi-Fi press release that the Ringtones and Wi-Fi store are coming "later this month":

@9: Confirmed, thanks!!
My ringtones added via SFTP/SSH survived. (But of course they don't show up in iTunes.) Also, I unchecked the Ringtones syncing as I won't be paying for any of those.
