AAPL Stock: 459.68 ( + 4.56 )

Ringtone creation disappears from iTunes 10

updated 03:45 pm EDT, Fri September 3, 2010

Option remains in 9.2.1


The option of buying and creating ringtones has been removed from iTunes 10, users note. Under the software's View Options menu, the earlier "Ringtone" column has vanished; this previously let people know if it was possible to turn tracks from the iTunes Store into ringtones for an extra 99 cents. Throughout the rest of the program, the only references to ringtones include information on syncing and the Ringtones tab under the Library.

The ability to buy ringtones still exists under the previous version of iTunes, v9.2.1. Why Apple would disable the function in v10 is unclear, but ringtones have never been cited by Apple as a significant source of revenue. For technically savvy users it's also comparatively easy to create free ringtones, using third-party editing tools.

    ok

    Third-party editing tools? I thought GarageBand was the best way.

    I like.....

    I like the new, wider and easier to click volume slider, the new, easier to read device content meter bar, and some other stuff......... however i dislike the lack of in-itunes ringtone creation, those ones on the store are mostly 1.29 each, and um, if you all ready have the track, it could be 2x $1.29, with pennsylvania state tax it comes to $2.74. I don't like that the itunes store seems to be moving away from affordable audio content. A 30 second clip that you didn't select the part of the track it's from should not cost as much as or more than the track, in fact it could be free without affecting revenue.

    I also don't like that you need 10.5 to run it, like i have 125 dollars to spend on an OS upgrade for my 5 year old computer that would likely bog down completely. :

    Who cares?

    Last I checked, ringtone creation in iTunes was limited and stupid.

    It could only work on purchased AAC files, assuming Apple could find what it was. And then it still cost you $1 to make.

    Why would anyone even use this, let alone care that it is gone?
