nope, only problem i have is getting them to play! ive gotten 2 out of 4 to work so far. it stinks. I did test the ringtones though, (by calling) and they do work... but only 2 of them

[justinrunge]

I have some that play when I'm in settings, but they do not play when I try and assign them to contacts... This is soo frustrating

So this will not work for a jailbroken phone?

Because even after I pasted you plist, ringtones, and spoofs into the /itunes_control directory in the appropriate places it didnt work for me

[yossariangt]

Not sure if this will help anyone...but this is my plist with one purchased ringtone and one added in...both working.

It does work. If you jailbroke your phone, the location is /var/root/Media/Itunes_control. if you stuck stuff into /itunes_control, then you need to reverse what you have done.

Are you refering to the ones i created?

[skierdb526]

no, yours worked fine. after i got yours working i decided to mess with some files and see what i could do

would there be anyway to trick itunes into making free ringtones for us?

i just copied your plist and renamed everything(like you suggested).. copied all the files to var/root/media/itune_controls AND root/itune_controls

using iphonebrowser....
.is there something else i am suppose to do? i already rebooted and nothing...please shed some light~!=)

. thank you..


update ** got it.. thank you~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ all! salkfjaslkfj weeeE

[skierdb526]

Ok boys... Ive been doing this research (instead of the philosophy i should have been doing...) and have found how itoner writes things (my friend let me use his mac). basically it renames the file (to 4 letter titles example: ATSB.m4a) and creates a dummy file with the same root name, but m4r extension, then transfers the files to the location we're all familiar with. After that it sends over a plist it generates. Below is the plist it created for me. So go ahead, pick it apart, and good luck. 2 out of 24 failed for me.

well i got what i needed done, so im off to bed. I hope you guys find this info useful. happy hacking.

[damoncooper]

This is all good guys, but the Ringtones.plist gets re-written by iTunes (7.4.3.1 at least) everytime you sync.

This isn't good!

I need my Yip Yip Ringtones, and I need them to "stick"

If you want to create a genuine GUID then get one from http://www.guidgen.com/

[msskarina]

One thing that I noticed that fixed mine was that I renamed the m4a ringtone file in windows...Originally in itunes it was "CTU" - I changed it to "CTU0001" to make it 7 characters as per the instructions here. It showed up in the list but did not play. Once I changed it back to the orginial file name created by iTunes - "CTU" - and changed the plist to reflect this name, the ringtone played just fine...

[rklosinski]

I noticed another odd thing. When I synced with my computer at work, it initially overwrote the .plist file. I then copied the new one over it, and it stuck through multiple syncs and power cycles.

When I got home, I tried the same thing, but it always overwrites the file. Hmmmmm, not sure why there would be a difference.

@skierdb526
Are the ringtones really located at "/Volumes/TravelDrive/ringtones/"? I wonder what ituner does to prevent itunes from overwriting the .plist file?

[Delmustator]

Man, this thing is finiky...

I've redone my plist with all the suggestions and some things work while others do not.

I finally got all the cRingtones loaded and showing up in the master as well as contacts selections. But the default ringtone still goes off when a call comes in regardless of what cRingtone is selected.

I'm about tired of messing with it..

If anyone is interested, my custom ringtones can be found here...

[skierdb526]

to the red headed southpark character... thats where my files were when i put them into itoner. It appears that itunes still wipes the plist, but this gives the program reference to where to look. that way it can still update your ringtones with itoner.
