A method of using iTunes to create ringtones for the iPhone using songs not purchased from the iTunes Store was first posted by Simplyfreeiphone.co.uk on Friday. Users confirmed after installing iTunes 7.4.1 over the weekend that the method no longer worked.

However, a Simplyfreeiphone.co.uk post on Saturday details a workaround for the iTunes update, again allowing the free ringtones to be synced to the iPhone.

When Apple first announced the ability for users to create custom ringtones earlier this week, it was meant only for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. Users would have to pay an additional 99? for the ringtone.

Third-party applications such as Ambrosia Software's iToner have been updated to work with iTunes 7.4.1 and is available from the company's website.
