I haven't experienced the issue. But could the "some files not recognized unless converted again" issue be due simply to the Mac files or creator type or other misc Finder data attached to each audio file?

on the iPhone end, it is probably only recognizing audio files with certain file attributes and has very little to do with the audio encoding of the file itself?

I just tried what i thought might be the issue and it turns out its not. I removed all finder data etc from the audio file and it still didn't sync.

Removing the ringtone and putting it back did not work
Converting the ringtone from AAC to MP3 or vice versus did not work

What did work was simply quitting iTunes and iToner and relaunching. So I'm thinking it might have something to do with data or directory that iTunes writes to disk at intervals or upon quitting or launch?
 
Apple's last iPhone 1.1.1 update broke compatibility with previous versions of iToner, but the 1.0.3 update fixes this incompatibility. iToner sells for $15.00, with a fully functional trial available.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But doesn't Ericas "sendsong" app still work with 1.1.1? And if so why would anyone be daft enough to spend $15 dollars on this app when they can "Sendsong" any song on their iphone to their ringtones folder? Likewise for 1.0.2 users...

It doesnt work, the app runs normally but the ringtones dont actually make into the ringtone list. So in effect it doesn't work

Thanks for the correction.

ok. So you're only daft if you paid for it when you were running 1.0.2 :D

I had the same prob, but I think I just solved it...

I had 2 songs that wouldnt work, they would sync, but only one would play. Both files had the extension .m4p - they werent the only songs I wanted to use with an .m4p extension... but the only ones causing me problems. Just for kicks and giggles, I changed (manually, thru finder) the extensions to .m4a - now they both work! Dunno why... but I'm not complaining! Hope that helps anyone else having an issue with this.
 
Works great for me, Andrew. I tried the trial version this morning, moved 3 ringtones onto my iPhone (they were AAC format and in my iTunes library). Worked perfectly the first time through!

I came into the office and plunked down my $15 immediately. I never cared for custom ringtones, but I really missed them once I had them (and I just use tones - not songs). Thanks a million!

:cool:

There is no jailbreaking needed to use iToner, so it's perfect for those who don't wish to hack their phone and install apps. Nothing daft at all, quite the opposite really!
 
Folks,

We have identified and fixed a bug in iToner 1.0.3 that could cause some ringtones to not play in rare instances on your iPhone. Expect an update very soon.

The update will be free to all registered iToner users, as all of our updates have been.
 
Well this isn't good. First iToner deletes the tones on my phone and when i attempt to put them back i get the "listed but won't play" issue. I have tried everything suggested on this board to no avail and have simply given up. Deleted the app from my mac and gone back to good ole marimba

While I don't understand how iToner could delete any ringtones from your phone, I would suggest that you download iToner 1.0.4. I believe it will fix the "non-playing ringtone" issue for you.
 
Works great for me. Thanks again, Ambrosia, for sticking with it and doing right by your early adopters. Unlike some other folks I could mention. ;)
