Follow Up on iTunes with Ringtones

Well, I upgraded to iTunes 7.3 and can safely say no ring tones are evident as speculated earlier. What’s more, other sites are now saying that once the ring tone feature is active in later versions, you will a) only be able to make ring tones out of songs purchased from iTunes and b) will get charged an extra 99 cents a song on top of the original cost of the song to make a 30 second ring tone. If that is true, that’s a multi-level rip off that really pisses me off.

First of all, that first 99 cents a song should cover all fair use of the song. Including making a damn ring tone if we want to. Second, what about my other music services and my CDs? eMusic is a favorite of mine for songs, and I have hundreds of CDs. You mean to tell me that if this rumor pans out I can’t use any of that music to make ring tones for the iPhone, which will only be compatible with iTunes? What a crock. That would make me a really unhappy Apple customer.

It seems that so far Apple is missing a big boat with the iPhone not being able to use a full song from the iPod/iTunes library on it as a ring tone, not to mention the choice of AT&T as the carrier. If the grapevine speaks the truth they can chalk up another strike against them on this, which is too bad. I was hoping they’d be innovative and lead the way on songs as ring tones and other features.
