iTunes 7.4.2 addresses iTunes Plus ringtone bug
Apple on Monday evening released iTunes 7.4.2 to address an issue with creating ringtones from iTunes Plus songs and several other unnamed glitches.
"iTunes 7.4.2 addresses an issue with creating ringtones using iTunes Plus song purchases and includes bug fixes to improve stability and performance," the company wrote in a brief set of release notes.
The software is available as a 38.8MB download for Macs and a 49.1MB download for Windows PCs.
iTunes 7.4 lets users create custom ringtones for iPhone from some of the songs available from the iTunes Store. It allows users to play purchased videos with closed captioning (when available), easily rate their favorite albums from one to five stars, and watch videos at a larger size inside the iTunes window.

Any word if previously installed ringtones are preserved? Like if installed a custom GarageBand ringtone under 7.4.1.x...
That's what I meant by my post.

How about giving us the one they use on the TV commercials?

They also don't include the cool Clown Fish that you see on iPhones in commercials and Demos of Leopard. I like those a lot.
FYI, it breaks the free Ringtones workaround. Again. But I bet we all knew that...
The free ringtone workarounds seem to be great motivators for Apple to fix iTunes bugs in a hurry. They don't want to lose the revenue stream so we'll be iterating through the versions quite rapidly.
I can't think of any song that I want to make into a ringtone. I just wish they would release a few more optional ringtones because I'm not that fond of any of the current choices. I especially dislike the default Marimba. How about giving us the one they use on the TV commercials?

Can you make one fromthe long version (16 plus minutes) of Inna Godda Da Vidda? That would drive everyone crazy!

They wouldn't lose it [mine] if they could bring out more (I'm sure they eventually will). But you know, the music that I listen to isn't well populated on iTunes, or any digital retailer for that matter...

... or there is some pretty specific text in those Apple/RIAA agreements.

My question is geared at if iTunes removes existing ringtones from my phone. I understand if it doesn't allow me to sync new ones but I'd be irked if one's I already installed get removed.
So, my question stands:
Any word if previously installed ringtones are preserved? Like if installed a custom GarageBand ringtone under 7.4.1.x will iTunes 7.4.2 remove it?

Yodeling?
Ambrosia says iToner still works with 7.4.2. I haven't been home yet to try it myself.
Ah, I should say it doesn't work with the non-iToners. Sorry.
Yodeling?
How'd you know!?!?!??!
Could 7.4.2 also have created a new problem?

Huh? There are probably 20,000 clown fish images available on the net that you could use for your iPhone wallpaper. Pick one.
Maybe try this one:

I don't have the internet.
I wonder if I could launch a frevolous(sp?) law suit on that basis...
