Brief Hands-On Report--iToner 1.0.1 fixes iTunes 7.4 Ringtone Issue

2004–09September 10, 2007Bill FoxReviews
Ambrosia Software released iToner 1.0.1 and it is available for download from MacUpdate. According to Ambrosia, version 1.0.1 provides:

  • Compatibility with iTunes 7.4
  • Now supports file dragging from iTunes
  • Improved playlist handling
  • Other bug fixes and enhancements

We downloaded and installed iToner 1.0.1 on our MacBook Pro. iToner required that we launch iTunes 7.4. Then, we restored all of our custom ringtones to our iPhone that iTunes 7.4 deleted when it first "sync'd" our iPhone. Afterward, we re-sync'd our iPhone, updating our iCal events, and the custom ringtones installed via iToner 1.0.1 remained. The same with iTunes 7.4.1 released late Friday.

We favorably reviewed iToner, a $15 utility for installing custom ringtones on an iPhone, before Apple released iTunes 7.4 with the capability (but still not implemented) to make ringtones from songs on the iTunes Store for 99 cents each. [Bill Fox]
