I had this set on my sdcard at one point, but i know you can set the R.A.N. hierarchy to where it will allow you to choose from any mp3 you have in the bottom folder of the hierarchy.
I think it's /sdcard/media/ringtones/alarms/notifications/*.mp3
but if i'm wrong can someone please correct me...
I don't know about that method but rings extended in the market lets you use any mp3 you want for notifications, alarms, and ringtones

I put a few short mp3 tones into a notification folder in memory card.
Next I check in phone settings - sound - notification, found all the mp3 tones I put earlier. Work well.
Then by mistake I edited the notification folder(capitalise them). Next I found out my notification listing two of the same tone on every each of them, one can play and another one just playing system tone.
Tried renaming back the folder but still having two same mp3 name in my notification listing under settings.
Anyway I can delete sound.db to refresh the notification settings..?

Anyone know how to take an MP3 from the SD card and be able to use it with Gmail as the notification tone?
same thing with Text messaging?
This should do it.

Ive got it trimmed down and made.. but it wont give me an option to use it in gmail or in my message settings
Put it in /sdcard/media/audio/notifications
You can also make ringtones and alarms directories for ringtones and alarms.

I do it with es file explorer. Just hold down the song with a longpress and multiple options appear.

I figured it out...
the easiest way is to make folders in your SD card called ringtones and notifications.
by doing that they will show up in the selection boxes
I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.2.1 (the "OTA-like" ROM that is over on rootzwiki, basically stock AOSP 4.2.1), and I want to start using the alarm (using the default clock app). but I don't want to use one of the default alarms, I'd much prefer to wake up to a song of my choosing. First I copied a song (in .ogg format) into the /sdcard/Alarms folder (using Root Explorer), but it doesn't show up in the list of choices in the clock app. So I then moved the song into the /system/media/audio/alarms folder (again using Root Explorer), as that is where the system alarms sounds are saved. But my song still doesn't show up in the list of choices for an alarm in the clock app. Lastly, I then cleared the cache from the clock app, and force stopped it. when I reloaded the clock app, same thing, my song was not included in the list.
What am I doing wrong, and how can I get the default clock app to recognize my custom alarm sounds?
The /system/media/audio/alarms location is fine but reboot your device after putting the sound file there
I tried with a .mp3 file not a .ogg and it worked
Yup, a simple reboot worked. Thanks.

I'm having the same issue except on tf201 and even rebooting doesn't help. Any ideas as to what I could try?
Is there a way to load your own tones for the LG clock app? I put tones in both the notification folder and alarm folder, and none of them show up when I go to change the alarm tone. Is there any way to do this or do I need to find another app?
I use Alarm Extreme Pro (there is a free version too) and have since my skyrocket days. Can customize any tones you want.

Which audio format are you using?
I have several files I use for ringtone and alarm; I simply put them into external SD and they all show up.
They are .mp3 and .wav files.

They are mp3 and wma files, and none show up. Do you put them in a specific folder, or are you selecting "music" when you select alarm tone so you have to go through all music on your card?
I'm used to my old galaxy phone where I could put specific files into the notification folder and then those are right there when I go to select from tones.

I use the same. Custom tones and ability for fade in of tones is clutch.

Yep, my ringtones show up when I want to select a ringtone for the phone, but for alarm, nothing. I have tones in alarm, notification and ringtone, but nothing. I also tried searching for some of the default ringtones so if I could find if there was another location, but there was nothing. I guess I'll have to load them into my music folder and just select them from there.

FYI, my custom alarm tones are in a custom folder named
/external_SD/media/audio
and they are .WAV and .MP3, but I am using the same SD card since the last three mobile phones therefore I suppose that the file location should not be an issue.

What worked, thanks to previous post above mine (lit the candle in my head)
Internal folder/switch/storage/emulated/0/alarms
(also, previous phone was encrypted, that might explain the emulated/0 folders)
The key was finding the "Switch" folder since I had switched from Sony, to Samsung, to finally LG.
I used the folder "search feature" to see details (path) of one of my other ringtones I had on my old phone that are still available.
I copied the new ringtones into the same folder, and it appeared.
Sorry to post in old post, but it was in top 10 results in Google, and the post that helped the most.
