Download iTunes 7.4 Now
iTunes 7.4 is now available for download on Apple’s site or in Software Update.
iTunes 7.4 brings with it mainly capabilities for the new iPods that Apple announced yesterday.
From Software Update:
With iTunes 7.4, sync your favorite music and more with the new iPod nano (third generation), iPod classic, and iPod touch, plus create custom ringtones exclusively for iPhone with many of your favorite songs purchased from the iTunes Store. You can now also play purchased videos with closed captioning (when available), easily rate your favorite albums from one to five stars, and watch videos at a larger size inside the iTunes window.
Let us know if you have any issues after your installation.

I can’t see any songs with the ringtone icon?
You can make ringtones only from purchased tracks, eh? That’s pretty lame. I guess I’m SOL on all of the music that I’ve (legally) ripped from CDs I owned before I getting my iPod.
careful. any “unauthorized” ring tones will be deleted by iTunes 7.4
Any indication of being able to wirelessly sync the iPhone or iPod Touch with iTunes? Dear lord, that would be awesome.
I can’t even get 7.4 to download. After hitting ok to update the software it immediately says done. When you go back and check computers current version it has not updated to 7.4. Anyone have any suggestions?
Over at MacFixit they’re saying the sole purpose of 7.4 is to disable any jerry-rigged ringtones and make it so they must be purchased.
I realize this is probably due to pressure from the Muzak industry but it seems really dumb that Apple is preventing people from converting songs they’ve already purchased to ringtones. A phone is just another speaker I should be able to hear my legally purchased music out of. If anything, Apple should be making it EASIER to make ringtones from MY music.
This idiocy won’t last, I think. Until it’s all figured out, I’ll continue using GarageBand to make my ringtones.
