Apple Removes Ability to Create Ringtones from iTunes 10
While trying out the new iTunes today, we realized that we could no longer set the option to see if a track purchased from the iTunes store could be made into a ringtone within iTunes 10 for $.99.
In previous versions of iTunes, you could pay an additional $.99 to create a ringtone from a track you purchased from the iTunes Store. Those ringtones could be added to your iPhone and when someone called you, you could display to the world just how hip you are with your Justin Beiber ringtone.
After looking around in the application, it seems that ringtone creation has been pulled from iTunes 10. We checked iTunes and were met with only information on how to sync ringtones from iTunes.
Ringtone maker in iTunes 9.2.1
We were still able to create and purchase a ringtone using iTunes 9.2.1.
If you're a ringtone fanatic, we have an article on how to make ringtones for cheap.
We've emailed Apple about the lack of ringtone creation and we'll update as soon as we hear back.
Thanks to reader Michael for noticing this.
