#Buy ringtones full

For the purpose of this post, however, we'll just stick to the 'tones. IFuntastic appeared on the iPhone hacking circuit some time ago, and it's capable of tinkering with a lot more than just your iPhone's ringtones.

That's why we have a roundup of a few tools and tricks you can use to make your own ringtones and work around iTunes 7.4's attempts to force you to use the store. Still, some people simply don't want to pay extra to turn music they already own into ringtones, and we feel your pain.

With this in mind, one could argue that buying ringtones from the iTunes Store is actually a deal, since you get non-expiring versions of both the full track and any custom snippet you want from it as a ringtone for $1.98 (but we definitely agree that you shouldn't have to buy the track in order to get the 'tone). It sounds like most users are able to see the ringtone bell next to purchased tracks in their libraries (hit cmd-j and enable the ringtone column if you haven't already), and the iTunes Store is now displaying the ringtone icon next to tracks that you can purchase for $.99, then pay another $.99 to turn a song you already own into a ringtone.īut what if you don't want to pay the music labels' ringtone privilege tax through the iTunes Store? Indeed, many alternative ringtone services from third parties and mobile companies charge $1.99, $2.99, or more just for a tone (and you don't even get the full length track to go with it), and some services also reportedly time bomb the ringtones so they expire after a short period of time. ITunes 7.4 is among us and ringtone support has finally joined the party.
