iTunes 7.4.1 ringtones workaround discovered
Via Engadget:
Fourty Eight (48) hours after Apple released iTunes 7.4.1 with it’s supposed ability to block renaming ringtones. a workaround has already been discovered.
The limitation should prevent people from copying (and playing) tones not bought on iTunes Music Store
First, follow the steps of the original method
* Create your ringtone, save it as an AAC file.
* Rename the m4a extension to m4r.
* Double-click to play in iTunes.Now, if you’re upgraded to 7.4.1
* Go back and re-rename that m4r file back to m4a. That’s it.
* Plug in your iPhone and that ringtone will be added to your syncable ringtones list — and it won’t pop up the error from before.
* Play your ringtones constantly for the next 10 hours until 7.4.2 comes out.
