Is there any way to use an MP3 file with the stock alarm clock?

Try placing your .mp3 in the /system/media/audio/alarms folder. The default files are .ogg, but .mp3's are supposed to work.
I tried that but it's still not working. Do I need to restart the Nexus?

It's always worth a try to restart. Based on jjrx3's response, mp3's should play. You could try making the Alarms folder under sdcard as he did.
I set it up as sdcard\media\audio\alarms but its not working.

it should be sdcard/Alarms
i use android file transfer (mac) but i just dropped the Alarms folder w/ some mp3s and it worked.
The default location for alarms is /system/media/audio/alarms but you need to be rooted to access that location. Since it worked for jjrx3, try his solution of placing them in /sdcard/AlarmsI set it up as sdcard\media\audio\alarms but its not working.

That did the trick. Thank you.
