Apple has released version 7.4.2 of iTunes, which purports to fix certain bugs involving creating ringtones from iTunes Plus tracks. But in the process, it also reportedly breaks certain “unauthorized” methods of sending ringtones to the iPhone:

Early Reactions from Comments:

- iToner (Mac) still works.
- iPhoneRingToneMaker (PC) still works.
- Other custom Ringtones appear to be removed (via MakeiPhoneRingtone) and can not be recreated even using ‘proper’ tag change techniques previously described.

Ringtones: iTunes 7.4.2 ringtone workaround posted.: Doesn’t appear to work.

Looks like we’re in for a Cat & Mouse game over this. As if it could be any other way.
