Apple flips switch on iTunes ringtone support

iTunesRingtonesTab.jpg A new Ringtones source item has suddenly become available in the iTunes software yesterday. Keep in mind that you might have to go to the General pane in iTunes preferences to switch it on.

... If you attempt to convert one of your songs purchased from the iTunes store into a ringtone (easily done by right-clicking and choosing 'Create Ringtone...'), you will be taken to the iTunes store to make the purchase, and a new Terms & Conditions is presented upon your first attempt to purchase a ringtone. For now, users cannot make custom ringtones from non-iTunes Store purchased files, but look for a writeup from us on how to work around this soon.
