iTunes 10 drops custom ringtone purchasing

Anything to cut down on the bloat which has becomes iTunes is a welcome addition, or in this case removal.

By the way, TheLittleAppFactory has another app that is much cheaper/better then CoverScout if you are missing a lot of cover art.

I tried most of these Apps (because I don't believe in buying a song twice to use as a ringtone). TheLittleAppFactory has the best app. I think it is $10. It is very generically called "Ringtones".

Wow..this happened before iTunes 10..I noticed last month....

As usual, 5 days old stale news. Typical TUAW.

Thank you for your accurate reporting. Your the first site whose headline accurately reflects exactly what has changed. Most sites regurgitated MacLife's misleading headline and story which implied that ALL methods of making custom ringtones had be removed.

Apple lists ringtone buying in the list of features in iTunes 10- maybe they're going to sell pre-made ringtones instead of the 'roll your own':

"Ringtones
You can buy ringtones of your favorite songs directly from the iTunes Store on your iPhone. So download away, then assign a ringtone to a contact in a few taps. You’ll know who’s calling before you even look at your iPhone."

Yes there are many ways. Some have been documented for years. http://www.hackthatphone.com/4x/custom_audio.html

Apple givith; Apple takith away.

wow, now this is really late to the party. This was reported days ago... http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/02/ringtone-creationism-banned-itunes-10-but-diy-still-seems-to-wo/
