I have a bunch of ringtones and notification tones that I want to sort or rename. My phone puts them all in one selection list which I dont like. Is there an app or a suggestion how I can have them appear in group folders when I make a selection on the phone?
Not sure if this the answer your looking for but you can try Astro and organize the files the way you like.

Hi, I would like to know what kind of extension are the extension icon files in WM. Are for example settings.ico? The second question is, where can I get some icon files to change my folders icons? How can I asign or change the icons in my folders?
I need to make this change because I want to agroup apps or games and put then in the "All Programs" tab.
Thanks for your answers.
So what is the process for getting custom icons onto the tablet and having them properly associated with their respective apps?
Say, I have a new Browser icon I want to use... what's the next step?
Can 'o' worms question, I know...
Personally I use folder organizer (from the market). It allows you to change an icon for a particular app or create a folder with several app in it. For example, a games folder with the icon of your choice will open a folder with whatever games you put in it (and can customize those icons as well)
Hope that helps.
Thanks Steve, I'll take a look at that now.
EDIT***
Okay, sorta works but a little too convoluted... You have to change each icon individually then add each app you've changed as a widget. I'm looking to do something more in the way of an icon pack that will swap out all the icons at once (of the ones I've made and apps supported).
I use Desktop Visualizer; however, this is also a 'one at a time' process.
I am not familiar with a process to change the icons 'en mass'.
This is a great thread for icon packs and there's some basic information on changing icons in the first post. It's possible though, that one of the icon developers listed in the thread will be able to answer your question.
Thanks for the info Franwella
I'll make my morning reading.
Does anybody know where I can find the folder where new ringtones are added? I've been going around in circles for a while now, and I can't seem to find where they are. Or are they just shown on the UI and just accessed by the system from their original folders?
What are the best locations for putting ringtones, alarms & notifications?
For music, I created the folder /mnt/extSDCard/Music and it all works well.
But when I create and populate similar Alarms, Notifications, and Ringtones folders in /mnt/extSDCard, the standard pickers that are available to me in Rings Extended don't seem to pick up the content of these folders. I can opt to use Root Explorer as my picker but then I don't get any previews, which is not useful.

There are folders for these on the internal sdcard, I always just move the files into the appropriate system folder (system/media/audio) then change permissions and reboot.
Does anyone know what directories you put custom alarms, ringtones, and notification sounds? I'm coming from an HTC m9 and when I moved files into the "normal" folders (Alarms, Ringtones, Notifications) they don't show up in the selection menu/tab. I was able to access them by digging through the Music tab but I know there should be an easier way to find them.
With ES File Explorer Pro, I've placed additional ringtones and notifications in the following locations:
/storage/emulated/0/Ringtones
/storage/emulated/0/Notifications
Note that your phone may categorize the sound files under the header "music" when selecting them.
If you're rooted, I simply move them to the appropriate folder in /system/media/ in the root directory. If you go this route, make sure to set permissions to 644.
