We got shafted again pretty much
It was free for my RAZR, as long as I already had it as a MP3. I don't use the iTunes store, and never plan to purchase music or ringtones online ever. I do, however, expect the ability to customize ringtones through the officially supported software. If you ask me, it's another in the long line of money grabbing ploys by Apple. I refuse to play their little online game. I'll continue to purchase CDs from artists I like, and rip them the the non-proprietary mp3 format.Well, 99¢ is pretty reasonable for a ringtone, considering that they're almost $4 each for my current phone. Still, Apple shouldn't come and ruin the fun.
That's precisely what it sounds like to me, but who knows until one tries. Either or. Either its just more stringest about the TYPE or its not. I was shocked that people were able to essentially use the audio tracks of Quicktime movies as "ringtones", which seemed very odd. Considering other reports, I'm curious if its all hanging off of "protected" or if its just a bitrate thing. It's very particular about videos in this regard too. Unfortunately, until I finish crawling the current iTunes 4 installation, I can't see myself installing bubkis. (Wait, do I still have the installer in my temp folder? ::: runs off ::: )
