Help Query About Folder Structure on SD Card

[JohnnyBravo1000]

Just a quick question about the folder on the SD card.

In the following thread it links to a website which says the folder structure is as follow.

• Music/ - Media scanner classifies all media found here as user music.
• Podcasts/ - Media scanner classifies all media found here as a podcast.
• Ringtones/ - Media scanner classifies all media found here as a ringtone.
• Alarms/ - Media scanner classifies all media found here as an alarm sound.
• Notifications/ - Media scanner classifies all media found here as a notification sound.
• Pictures/ - All photos (excluding those taken with the camera).
• Movies/ - All movies (excluding those taken with the camcorder).
• Download/ - Miscellaneous downloads.

This folder structure does work. However, if I download an app or update an app like the Facebook app which contains a sound like the "Facebook Pop" it creates a folder called "audio" and has "notifications" (where it places the tone) "alarms" and "ringtones" inside of it, but it doesn't show up on the list of notification tones. It only showed up after I moved it to the "Notifications" folder that I created previously.

I was surprised that the "Facebook Pop" didn't automatically go into the pre-created "Notifications" folder, but instead went into the "notifications" folder which was inside the "audio" folder which was created in the existing "Media" folder.

Hope that all makes sense! I was just wondering what the correct way of doing things is?

Maybe it's different on GB but I'm still Froyo and the only way I've ever been able to get the phone to recognise my own mp3 rings and notifications is to put them in the following:

Storage card\media\audio\notifications\
Storage card\media\audio\ringtones\

My facebook pop went into the above notification folder automatically.

I'm on Froyo myself at the moment, mate.

I can sat them out like the post above, but I have to create a folder called Audio, in which I have Alarms, Notifications and Ringtones.

One confusing aspect is that the both of the "ringtones" for my FotMob app appear on the list of possible notification tones when I select one via the Messages menu. Yet only one of them can be chosen as a ringtone. Not that I'd want to use them as my ringtone or notification tone, but I found it strange why one file appears and one doesn't.
