Apple Updates iTunes to 7.4.2 [Updatedx3]
Apple has posted iTunes 7.4.2 for Mac and Windows today.
Whats New in this Version
iTunes 7.4.2 addresses an issue with creating ringtones using iTunes Plus song purchases and includes bug fixes to improve stability and performance.
Apple recently introduced 7.4.1 on September 7th. The 7.4.1 update had disabled a workaround that allowed users to create their own ringtones out of any song. No word on whether or not the 7.4.2 update causes any problems with unofficial ringtones.
Early Reactions from Comments:
- iToner (Mac) still works.
- iPhoneRingToneMaker (PC) still works.
- Other custom Ringtones appear to be removed (via MakeiPhoneRingtone) and can not be recreated even using 'proper' tag change techniques previously described.

I'd be curious to see if iToner still works.
Seems they've stepped up the development a few notches, most likely to keep record labels happy for a little while.

Sure does (cause problems). My own ringtones are gone from the Ringtone tab. Tried re-making and importing them, but it won't accept them. Also synced and removed ringtones from the phone.

If this fixed a bug creating ringtones with 256k iTunes+ songs they didn't do a very good job because I still can't do it with any John Lennon iTunes+ songs.

Does anyone know if this update will erase the notes on my phone?
Of course not. It's an iTunes update, not an iPhone update.

My iTunes still says 7.4.1 is current. That should change soon though. So iToner 1.0.1 is still working but MakeiPhoneRingtone isn't?
