Hi everybody, I was wondering if theres a way for my music player not to recognize/show my ringtones?
its kind of annoying having all the the ringtones in the music player.
Bump that i second this because i hate not being able to exclude some media especialy like sipdroid recordings

Not sure how yours got into your music folder, but you should be able to move them using the onboard Files app. The path for my music is /sdcard/external_sd/music, and my ringtones are in /sdcard/external_sd/Ringtones (custom ones I made previously and put on the card). The ones I made with Ringtone Maker are in sdcard/media/audio/ringtones. Not sure where the factory ringtones reside, don't have a problem with them, don't use them, so I haven't found the need to go hunting for them. But you're not talking about the factory ones, are you?
Mine are under ext sd/media/audio/ringtones and none of them show up on my music player

you can install 3rd party apps from market to handle that
hi there, how can i use my own mp3 ringtones and messages alerts?
Transfer them to notifications or ringtones folder on the phone. Then go into Settings > Sound and change the options under Ringtones and Notifications. If you want to use specific sections of an mp3, use Audacity to do so.
thanks but that works in a limit possibility. i want to use in other programs like mail, k9, facebook, etc and i cant get to use the mp3 choosing in other apps
Try "Rings Extended" from Market
Thanks I love this forum you ppl are great hehe

Is there a way to simply change the incoming calls ringtone to an mp3 file that is in my music folder or download folder? I can't believe I have to hook up to my PC and copy a file to the ringtones folder. The stock music player does not see to have an option to set the current song as a ringtone. Didn't this use to work in Gingerbread?

It works fine all apps are able to see the ringtones, notifications, and alarms folder on the root of the sdcard.

You can install ES File Explorer and if you want to change ringtone, you will have to choose between options: Android System and ES File Explorer. Also it's possible to set ringtone directly from app.

But I do not want to install any additional apps or hook up to a PC and copy a file to the ringtones folder. I have had several phones where all I had to do was locate the song and make it my ringtone. Did we lose this function? Why?
Use a file explorer and move ur content to the ringtones folder its that simple you might have to reboot tho

Apparently you do not understand. I am perfectly capable of copying a file. I simply do not want to have to take those extra steps. This used to be a simple process. You just either found a song in your player and chose an option to make it a ringtone or chose it as a ringtone for a specific contact. Now, your only choices are what is in the ringtones folder. Meanwhile, the music player can see it just fine in either the music folder or the downloads folder. This is a step backwards.

It is the stock player "Play Music".
Or you could try "tone picker" available from the store.

There is supposed to be a ringtone editor in JB, but not in mine. And I just got a Play Music app update yesterday and it is still missing.
Well what do you know..... they took it out of the list of JB features on the official site.

Patent issue perhaps?
Lots of people ask me the same things about "simply" adding an MP3 to the ringtones list... But, since Google Play Music arrives, the option disappear. It's good to know the AOSP Music App (really ugly application) has the option to use a Music as a ringtones, but when you install Google Play Music, this app disappear, so as the option you are searching.
In order to help you, I advice you to use a File Explorer Application (Solid Explorer for me) to copy/paste the MP3 on the ringtones folder, it's simple, and I think a file explorer app is a must have on the android world

I already have a file manager app. I was merely pointing out that the JB feature was removed.
Yes I'm wondering what would be the easiest fix for this. Whenever I am listening to music through the stock music player, either through my head phones and the car, it mixes up and plays my ringtones and notification sounds along with my music which is annoying lol. Anyone have any ideas?
You could hide the folders using a . In front of the name then manually place copies of the ringtones into the system ringtone folder if youre talking about downloaded ringtones i had the issue before and it was the simplest fix i could come up with aside from manually excluding the folders everytime i opened the music player using a 3rd party player like sony walkman and winamp etc which was alot more of a hassle than hiding the folders and copying the files to system tones when i changed roms

Sounds to me like you might have your ringtones in the media folder. Move them into the notifications/ringtones folder that should take care of ya.

Just to clear it up b4 you get lost doing this.. The ringtone folder is inside the media folder. But yes switching the ringtones over to the proper folder will fix this issue.

There is no option. There is a separate folder on your phone for ringtones. You need a file manager app and then copy any songs that you want to use as ringtones into that folder...... or use your PC. There was supposed to be a built in ringtone editor in the player app in JB but it seems they pulled it at the last minute.
Or if you dont want to move files around you could download Ringdroid or a different ringtone maker.

Copy them to Ringtones folder or media\Ringtones folder... after you copy it will take few seconds-minutes before you see it in the list and sometimes I found it added instantly...
Good luck!
put your mp3 in the following folders on your "sdcard"
\ringtones\ for ringtones
\alarms\ for alarms
\notifications\ for notifications
Airdriod is a great app for easy ring tones and notification tones as well as other great features while using your computer browser and remote management of your android devices.

So i got playing around and i changed my boot sounds found various websites. Ure stock boot sound is in root floder/system/media/audio. There names are PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg they are .ogg vorbis format ogg flak will not work try to keep the sound short and sweet 3 or 4 seconds cause of fast booting and of coarse always make a back up before changing sys files. And set all ure permissions before you modify
I have now tested also works on lollipop
Tip: You can record audio via the builtin voice recorder and change the extenstion to .ogg then rename your files accordingly.
