So after loving my 3G for several days, I am fuming at apple. Why in the world do I need to buy a song that I already legally own just to use it as a ringtone? I dont' mind forking over the $0.99 to convert it into a ringtone (but that should be free anyway), but to have to buy it again! That's ridiculous! Anyone have a way around this?
You're fuming at the wrong people

... It's the dying music industry that imposes these restrictions not Apple. The Apple folks are the ones that got music to be sellable online and have done wonders to open up the music industry to this new world of the internet.
