The great iPhone Hacker has released SendSong update for 1.1.1 users.
I hacked away at SendSong for a bit but I’m still pretty unhappy with how unreliable it is with ringtones. The latest version (18-experimental) has a bunch of changes:
- All files copy to the Ringtones folder using their standard 4-letter iTunes labels, both original and spoof files.
- I no longer limit to m4a files. You can copy mp3s as well and spoof them.
- I’ve mimicked all the keys for normal ringtones: GUID, Artist, Album Artist, Album, Genre and Total Time.
- Genre is broken in the on-iPhone music library (a clue?). All songs default to ‘Soundtracks’ in Ringtones.plist.
- I’ve tried making lists of GUIDs that work and do not work but guess what? Sometimes the same GUID works and sometimes it doesn’t, for exactly the same song.
- Be aware that syncing may destroy your Ringtone.plist. A backup gets automatically generated to Ringtone.plist.hold
- Some report that the ringtone continues to default to marimba unless you reboot.
Please report your successes and problems here in the comments.
