iRing: Automator application for creating ringtones

That's an interesting detail I hadn't noticed ;)

iRing2 *doesn't work* unless you already created ringtones the old way. If you are trying to create a new ringtone for the first time on 7.4.1, then iRing just drops some random files in the main iTunes directory and nothing happens.

I see where it creates the m4r file, but then what am I supposed to do?

Ring2 does not work. How does it change the file extension back to m4a? Am I supposed to move it to the ringtones folder or import it into iTunes?

A new version of iRing has been created that ranames the file back to an m4a after it imports it into your iTunes Ringtone folder.

It's at the same link in the article above.

Let us know what you think...and if you have any problems!

To clarify the work around for 7.4.1, when re-naming the files, you need to drag them to your desktop, get info, change the file format, then drag it back into the ringtones folder. If you modify them while in the ringtones folder, this WILL NOT WORK.

It has been broken... the 7.4.1 workaround.

First, follow the steps of the original method
Create your ringtone, save it as an AAC file.
Rename the m4a extension to m4r.
Double-click to play in iTunes.
Now, if you're upgraded to 7.4.1
Go back and re-rename that m4r file back to m4a. That's it.
Plug in your iPhone and that ringtone will be added to your syncable ringtones list -- and it won't pop up the error from before.

Hasn't this been broken because of the 7.4.1 update?

Hello? Isn't this the very thing that iTunes 7.4.1 breaks? You know that story that's a little lower on this very page? Maybe I missed something?
