Hi All ...

Just would like to know where in the file system should I place copies of my MP3s so I can get WM6.1 to recognise it (drop-down box in the Sounds Setting) and start using them as a ringtone, text msg tone, alarm tones, etc??? I have tried click-holding the file itself in File Explorer and assigned it as a ringtone on the drop-down box, but it wont stick.

alarms etc goes into your 'windows' folder, ringtones anywhere in your documents folder should be the ringtones folder that should be fine

You can long press on an mp3 in any folder location from within the file browser to set as a ringtone. For SMS alerts they need to be copied in a "My Documents" folder (I just created one in my storage card and files there are selectable in the sounds and notifications menu).

Not sure about custom alarms though?
