Hands-On Report--Apple released iTunes 7.4.2

Apple released iTunes 7.4.2 and it is available for download via Software Update or as a stand-alone file from this Apple Web page. According to the Read Me file,

iTunes 7.4.2 addresses an issue with creating ringtones using iTunes Plus song purchases and includes bug fixes to improve stability and performance.

We downloaded and installed iTunes 7.4.2 via Software Update on a number of Macs: aluminum iMac Core 2 Duo, white iMac Core 2 Duo, MacBook Pro (LED), Power Mac G4 and PowerBook G4. No problems were encountered. Then, we sync'd our iPhone with a problem. Thankfully, our custom ringtones installed by iToner were not erased.

Finally, we briefly used iTunes to play some of our music, download some podcasts and check out music on the iTunes Store, all without encountering any issues. [Bill Fox & Dana Baggett]
