Simply point & hold on the MP3 you want set as your ringtone and a pop=up menu appears, in which there is an option to set it as your ringtone.
With regards to your SMS notification - you have to copy the MP3 to the Windows folder on the phone and then select it via Start-Settings-Sounds & Notifications.
How to set sms tone?
I want to set own sms tone in my phone.
I saw one post,i can be done through registry
How to do?
its not in Settings -> Sounds & Notifications? Incoming MMS might do it.
u can simply change your tones using the sounds and notifications settings!!
for using your own tones.. just keep/copy your wanted .mp3 or .wav files under main directory of My Documents or Storage Card. Now when you go to your 'Sounds and Notifications' settings, your tones will show up with other Windows tones aswel!! Now you can select and set it to your desired Notifications.. hope you get it and hope it helps
Thanks for this information.
Is it possible to change the notification sound to something that is NOT in the list of available sounds that were supplied with the phone?
I can set ringtones easily from my MP3 list, but didn't find a way to set a WAV/MP3 to be my notification sound...
get ringdroid from the market. Should help.
Put the mp3 file on the SD card in the folder:
Android\Media\Audio\Notifications
mount the SD card
Then open SMS app, properties and select the mp3 as ringtone
Ah - simple
Thanks!
is there any way to get a different notification for emails, and a different one for sms?

when you open each app (email and messaging) just hit menu>settings and choose the notification ringtone for each there. it can adhere to the default notification as set in the main settings panel, or use its own.
Many years ago I had a Samsung omnia which had windows mobile 5.1
When I went to set my sms tone, it would only allow me to set the default tones.
Somebody told me to change the format to .wav and put it in a certain folder and you could then select the tone of your choice.
Is there any similar way to do this on the streak?
go into messaging app settings and change it from there. i recommend handcent sms. best text app out there.

TO enable the Streak to find your .mp3 etc to use as notification, or alarms or ringtones, you need to create a folder on your SDcard.
For Alarms, create one called Alarms
For Notifications (sms tones etc), create one called Notifications
For RIngtones, create one called.... you get the idea
once they are in those folders, you can see them and use them from the normal place you change your settings
Thank you grizlore. It's a good program too...
A few months ago I moved from Windows Mobile 6.5 to Android. A feature I miss a bunch is the ability to have my scheduled tasks alert me. Using Android the task alert is the text message alert. I have been unable to find a way to make my tasks have a separate alert. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks!
Are you referring to the notification ringtones? because you can change that through the settings in the calander app to make it something different than the default.

yes that is what I am referring to... however if I change the notification ring tone it changes the text message ring tone.
Tasks
I have all my schedules for work in my phone set up in my calander, since i also came from a Windows phone (Q9C) i was using outlook for all my apts. THere is a exchange program u can use thru google that will link the 2 and bring all your tasks into your new calander on your phone. U can then set each event to alert u a set time before, just like in WINM0b. I set mine up to alert me 1 hour before i work and if the phone is on silent, theres a icon on top left screen telling me theres a event. u can also set up sounds. I hope this helps, and hope the info helps u. I am running Dk28 Froyo and there are some differences, so if some of this makes no sense, thats prob the reason. the program thru google is google calander. seach for it, it works

When you change it through the calendar app, it only effects notifications from that app, the default notification ringtone will remain the same. Also, you can specify a specific notification ringtone through the messaging app, and gmail as well, and have them all be something different than the default notification ringtone that is set through the main settings->sound menu.
Open up the calendar app, hit the menu button, select settings, then change the ringtone for that app.
All my appointments are through google calender. I am running Froyo (Bonsai MOD). The one hour thing is what I have as well... the issue I am having is my text msg alert seems like it has to be the same as the task alert. I liked having my task alert long(like a ring tone) and I like having a short text msg alert.

wow... just wow. I really feel like a noob. It was so simple. Thanks!
You can also DL tone picker from the market. It will give you a few more selections when trying to change notification tones, including the use of music found on your SD card. Just a lil FYI if you're not too big on system tones only.

Thanks for the heads up however "Select music" is installed by default and will let you do the music from your SD card thing(all my ring tones are there)
You can also just create a directory on your sd card and place your audio files there. On your sd card, create a directory with folders as such
sdcard
|-media
--|-audio
----|-alarms
------|-random.mp3
------|-random.ogg
----|-notifications
------|-another.mp3
------|-another.aac
----|-ringtones
------|-you_get_the_picture.mp3
------|-insert_audio_file_here.wav
