OK, if I put .nomedia in my ringtones folder, all is well as far as Winamp is concerned, and those won't pop up as random playable songs. It's kind of unnerving to hear the Everquest fanfare right after Primus...
But, the ringtones go away in my ringtone chooser.
Any suggestions, other than go to PowerAmp?
I went to poweramp. I couldn't figure out how to get the system media to stop playing short of making play lists, but then that made adding new music a pain in my ass.
1: Create a folder on your sdcard (or internal) called "media" (no quotes, all lowercase).
2: Put 3 folders in there called ringtones, notifications, and alarms.
3: Put your ringtones and whatever else in there accordingly.
4: Reboot, enjoy

Can I use MP3s for alarms and SMS tones.
I thought these kind of features where standard on modern smart phones?
Or is there an app for that

Have you tried setting it as a ringtone within the music app? Then from there you might be able to choose it in the alarms and notifications?
make a folder on your SD card (the root of it) called "Notifications" and "Ringtones" then copy your ringtones into one and notifications (SMS and Alarms) into the other. Then they appear in the menus. I had to google about to find this myself!
Alternatively you can set it through the music application!
You need to create specific folders on the SD. I have alarms on the SD root for my alarm tone and notifications for my message tone!

/sdcard
/sdcard/Media
/sdcard/Media/Notifications
/sdcard/Media/Ringtones
/sdcard/Media/Alarms
That is how I have it setup so I only have one folder in the sdcard root for all of my alarms, notifications and ringtones.
Mine are set as...
/sdcard
/sdcard/Media
/sdcard/Notifications
/sdcard/Ringtones
/sdcard/Alarms
Thx, I will give it a go
Why can't they make things simple these days
SOrry to jump in, but cant someone just run over what i may be doing wrong.
On my SD Card i have the following folder setup :
sdcard/
sdcard/media
sdcard/media/audio
sdcard/media/notifications
sdcard/media/alarms
sdcard/media/ringtones
and within the notifications folder i have put an MP3.
BUT it doesnt show up in SETTINGS > SOUND & DISPLAY > NOTIFICATION SOUND
Nor does it show up in ChompSMS or SMSPopup.
I have alos tried to create the folders in the root, with no luck.
I know im beign blind, what am i missing.
Nice one, was wondering how to do this.
hot-fuzz I have the exact same set-up as you, works perfectly for me.
Have you tried with a different audio file?
Just download 'Ringdroid' from the marketplace and you can edit your mp3's in the fly and gives you the option to save as tone/notification etc..
OK, sorted it.
The file will only show up if i put ".mp3" at the end of the file, otherwise it doesnt show up.
Thanks for the headsup on Ringdroid, might give that a bash.
I had some problems but at last it is working with the format
sdcard/
sdcard/media
sdcard/media/audio
sdcard/media/notifications
sdcard/media/alarms
sdcard/media/ringtones
I noticed there was a similar layout in the phone's ROM
system/
system/media
system/media/audio
system/media/notifications
system/media/alarms
system/media/ringtones
system/media/ui
There was some Facebook mp4 file in that ringtones folder.
So I have a few customer ring tones that I transfered over from my EVO 4G. They are in the Mp3 format and I am able to set the ring tone on an individual level, but I cant set it as a default ringtone.
So how does one set a customer ringtone that is an MP3 as the default ringtone?
Notifications as while?
Much Obliged for all of your help in advance.
Go to settings, then sound. You'll be able to set phone ringtone as well as notification ringtone.
I should have said that I have already tried that. There is no option that lets me pick the sounds that are on my SD card.
For example when I go into my contacts list and go to ringtone, there is three options, Default Ringtone, Select sounds from My Files and Phone Ringtone.
Now when I go to Sounds it just gives me a bunch of generic sound files. Nothing from my selection.
you just move the sound file to the /media folder using any file manager app. Then it should show up in the list of sounds when you set your ringtone. The same steps can be done for notification sounds. If you're confused, there's plenty of youtube video tutorials showing you step by step information.
I do it this all the time, I create custom ringtones with Audacity (cut out the chorus and fade the track in and out so it sounds cleaner). Right now I have the Jetsons door bell as my notification sound
Just a wild guess that you didn't put your custom ringtones in the proper file location on your SD card.
You need to create a folder called "media" (no quotes). Inside that folder create a folder called "audio". Inside that folder create 3 separate folders called "alarms", "notifications" and "ringtones".
Place your custom ringtones in the ringtones folder, reboot (not sure if that's necessary) and your customs will show up.

Thanks alot guys. That was exactly my problem, I did not have the media folder.
Wasn't exactly sure where it should have gone so I used ringdroid to create another Ringtone and it place the media folder along with the Ringtone folder on my SD card.
Always amazes me how simple a problem can be resolved if you have one price of information.
Thanks again. You are the best.

DO I have to have the same ringtones on all the folders so I can place custom ringtones in say text email etc..?
thanks
if not where are the text ringtones located at? I did a search by name and nothing came up though I have ring tones to choose from
thank you again
You can always download RINGDROID from the market. It lets you "trim" your mp3's and set them as default/contact ring tone or notification.
So far that is the best way I found to work in my phone.
so i have a question, and this may be an ignorant one... apologies...
so the stock music player for Note 4/3/S4/S5 (basically the same as far as im concerned)...
there is an option under the menu button to add tracks to the "now playing" list. every time i go through and add songs to the list it never plays that song(s) next. It's like it just ignores that i added songs to the now playing list.
just a little background here...
so i start up the music player and go through the "tracks" and select one to start playing. (also i keep the player on shuffle), while listening to the track i hit the menu button and select "add to now playing", it takes me to the "tracks" screen where i select 1 or more tracks and hit "done".
So now i am thinking that after it finishes the current song that it should kick over to one of the ones i just added to the list, right? WRONG... it just shuffles to something else in the "tracks" list, the "tracks" list being the 1 big list of all the tracks on the phone.
am i doing something wrong? or is this meant to be used another way or what?
any answer is appreciated.

First make sure you have all of your music correctly organized in a neat folder structure in "Music" folder on your internal or external sdcard. What you do is go inside your "Music" folder and create folders for each and every artist. Inside each artists' folder you want to have a separate folder for each individual album. Name the album folder correctly. Inside each album you will have all the mp3's along with the album art which needs to be named "AlbumArt.jpg" (or other compatible method). Even if you have random tracks and not the entire album, you still need to use the folder structure so that the music player can do the task you want. This should do the trick. songs in a specific album folder will be able to shuffle and your track list should play the songs you put in the now playing list. This is my only suggestion for your problem. Give it a try if you haven't done this already.
I appreciate your help, but f**k that lol. That would take forever. I will just keep ignoring that feature. Haha.
But thank you for the reply, I appreciate it
When working with mp3's the folder structure is crucial for media devices to be able to sort and display tracks correctly. Organization is key here. When making an mp3 cd or DVD, the same thing applies. You have to do this or fumbling to fing a specific song or album is gonna take a long time fumbling through one giant pile of mp3's in one single directory. I like things simple and organized and thats how mp3's need to be done. You might want to get on board with the program or youll always be fighting the system lol.
Hello everyone,
I am wondering if you all have the same issue as I do.
I have my music in "Music" folder, and my ringtones set in "Ringtones" folder, but when I want to set a local ringtone, I can see ALL my music and ringtones shown together in one huge never ending list due to amount of music present on my phone.
Is there a way to display only ringtones set in "Ringtones" folder?
Thank you in advance.
I just updated my 9 Pro to C.44 doing a full wipe. It's mostly working, but this new build no longer lets me select ringtones from the "Ringtones" folder in mass storage. Instead, it offers me system ringtones or the option to "Select from files". That offers tabs for "Music" and "Recordings".
I've tried putting an ogg, an MP3 and a WAV in the Recordings directory in mass storage, and it always insists "No files" when I try to pick a ringtone from "Recordings"
I suppose I could put the ringtones in the Music directory, but I don't want my music player playing them.
Any suggestions?
Copy your file to the ~/Ringtones or ~/Notifications directory and reboot(*): you'll find the ringtone in the "Music" tab.
(*) I couldn't find any way to force media indexing without rebooting
And the Search is case-sensitive on the filename, which is why I wasn't finding my ringtones using search. My Music tab has hundreds of entries, so just scrolling through it wasn't getting me very far.
