Paying for ringtones is like buying from the hotel minibar. What is the theory here, you need a separate use license for the music you already paid for to be a ringtone? RIAA DIAF.
I'm glad Apple only superficially deters the creation of "unauthorized" ringtones, because I've found that soundtrack music works better than pop music as source material, and I'm not talking about themes, I mean bits of dramatic underscore, particularly from action movies, can meet all kinds of functionality criteria for ringtones while being classy and uncommon.
I will not spend more than $0.50 on a ringtone, I can buy the full song for about $0.99 and use Garageband to make the tone, so why buy? is your time really worth the $2 for the whopping 30 seconds it takes to round trip into GB and export ringtone?
agreed. I would even say 25-30 cents is more than enough.
as for buying the songs. there are some that I don't really like the song but the opening riff is cool enough to be a tone. so if I could buy that bit for the right price, I"m sold
One of my main gripes with the iPhone is how difficult it is to customise. I should be able to feed it any MP3 or WAV of my choosing as ring tones and text message alerts. It's just too damn locked down.
And why must people jailbreak their phones just to use icon themes? It can't be that hard to open it up Apple.

I really don't understand why Apple is doing this. It makes no sense to me. Really.

I think you'll void your warranty using it like that.
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
