New iTunes Released with Ringtone Support

Only select songs are available to create ringtones from, with each usable track displaying a "bell" icon.
The new version of iTunes should be available tonight but Ringtone support may lag.

Time for iToner.
Uh, yeah. You have to first buy the song from iTunes, and then you have to pony up another 99 cents to make a ringtone out of it.

Guess Steve Jobs is trying to find ways to get closer to Bill Gates income? .99 + .99 = Failure for Apple

You do know at $1.98 thats cheaper then most other cell companies charge for ringtones.
Service will be turned on "next week"? Really? Come on, just do it now.
It's works now with third party apps, and they only cost $10-$15 total, as opposed to $1.98 each tone.

The cell companies are ripoff artists when it comes to ringtones. Just because Apple is cheaper doesn't make them any more right.And I've already GOT my music. Fair use doctrine tells me I should not have to pay to snip a piece of it into a ringtone.
Apple blew this one big time, boys and girls. iTunes should let you snip any song you already own into a ringtone, free of charge.

I agree 100%. It amazes me how forgiving most people on here are of Apple. If that was Bill Gates announcing that, as opposed to Steve Jobs, there would be lawsuits filed already.
We own it, we should be able to use it.

so what if you already downloaded and paid for a song through itunes. will you have to buy that song all over again and wind up with two copies of the same song or will itunes recognize the differance between the songs you downloaded from them and say the songs you downloaded from another source.
