you don't need to create folders for mp3 ringtone ,if you find the track you want to use as a ringtone in music player, press menu, set as ringtone, ( i then use the trim function to designate start and finish point) then set as phone ring or specific contact:D

yes you can create it, and it will work for you

create that here:

Sdcard/Media/Audio/alarms

Sdcard/Media/Audio/notifications

Sdcard/Media/Audio/ringtones

I feel exactly the same......I know how to put files onto my memory card but when I go to select what is called a "Notification sound" or (message tone) it only comes with the basic obvious ones like woodpipe and other default ones. When I find the file using Estrong I still cant set that file as my message tone. If you know the answer to these annoying problems, please get back to me, Thankyou.

Thanks man you helped me and got rid of the low music on my HTC Wildfire ;)
 
Hi trying to follow the instructions but when I mount my phone as a disk drive I cannot find the sdcard to access the media file. I get a list of files such as android_secure, ddownloads,Music, Photos etc but no Media file. I know I have an sdcard as I have physically checked (2GB). I hope I am not being stupid (but it's quite possible):confused:
I have music files saved somewhere on my phone because I have used one as a ringtone - where would these be saved? I have used Astro to explore the sd card but it says 'directory is empty'. I am wondering if the phone is set up to use the sd card
Help very much appreciated.

Android secure, Downloads, Music etc are not files, they are folders (aka directories). You must create the Media folder yourself. Check out this thread where I explaned everything in great detail.

hey even i have d same problem .. i have a HTC wildfire S .. i tried to follow d above procedure but i dint get any folder called media
please help me by suggesting an alternate solution
 
Hi there are two alternative applications. One is ringdriod. You can set any song or other sound as your ringtone .Infact even you can trim the song. So while saving it asks you whether you want to save it as for message, ringtone or alarm tone.

Secondly you can download notifications, ringtones and wallpapers from Zedge . Huge and very nice collection and easy to use.
Both the applications are free
 
I did everything i was suppost to do, i know how to set my ringtone with music, and i also know how to get to the sms and put music on there and such on. but after i put music in my notification folder, what do i do next? I still can't figure out how to put music as my text message ringtine.
