Can anybody help me? It seems impossible for me to set an mp3 as ringtone. No matter if I convert it to "ogg" or not. I put the file to "system>media >audio>ringtones, which should be the right path, I guess. I'm also able to choose that file but after rebooting it's gone. What do I do wrong?
Greets
Update: I just converted another mp3 to ogg and placed it in the right place. Now it even isn't shown when I try to chose it as ringtone. What could be the reason?
Anybody else facing those issues?

use ringdroid and you're done!
There are 2 ways:
1) Connect to phone to system and paste the mp3 in ringtones folder (internal memory).
2) Easier way: Download ES file explorer and navigate to the mp3 and play it in the app only. there you can see the option to set it as ringtone. Many music players also have this functionality but i only know about dbpoweramp.

Hello,
Where are the ringtones located on HD2?
I found some in Windows/rings and try to add custom ringtones (wma) to it but there are not showing in HTC ringtones setup menu.
Any idea?
Think you need to use .wave format and just copy the tone to the /Windows: Library. That will work.
You can use your personal music files to be your rington.
1. First copy the files to the /My Documents/My Ringtones folder on the phone.
2. Then from the Home screen slide to the Settings tabs > Sound & display > Ringtone
3. Select the file you copied over, and then tap Done.
Alternatively, you can set any music file as your ringtone by navigating to your music using File Explorer and tapping and holding the music file and selecting Set As Ringtone.
You can use a number of sound files that you downloaded from the Internet or copied from your computer, including *.wav, *.mid, *.mp3, and *.wma.

Convert your tone to .wave format and put it in the Windows library. It will work. I have done it plenty of times
** Try to use .wma format to, think it will work fine.

It's funny how even the simplest phones nowadays don't have any problems at all using mp3-files as sound-notifications, but a beast like HD2 can't support this

(plus they have their own audio format, others don't. it's why they go to mp3 I guess)

I used both ways and they both work fine for me. I dont use the WAV file anymore because the MP3 way is just easier for me as i use the MP3 trimmer to make my ringtones
If you go into the application data folder on the device, there's a folder named "sounds" put the mp3 sms in there and you'll be able to select them for sms notifications.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
it Worked
Like my new Incredible compared to my BB Storm, but I'm missing a few things.
While I can add MP3's as ring tones, I can't figure out
Create two folders on your SD card. One named ringtones and another named notifications (for text sounds). Once you copy files to those folders they will show up in the list.

For whatever reason this never would work for me. So what I did was create a folder on the root of my SD called media. Inside media created folders called ringtones and notifications. I then converted the MP3 or whatever format the media was in to M4A using the latest beta of Audacity (awesome app). Tossed the converted media into the appropriate folder, and voila, I can has sounds.
This may seem a little convoluted to some people, but it works for me.
download ringdroid from the market, allows you to pick the portion of the mp3 you want, and you can set it as alarm, notification, or ringer

Actually, there should be three folders, and they should all be on the root of the SD card. The two you mentioned, plus one called alarms. These three folders will let the various sounds you load only show for the correct applications.
For instance, put a sound called alarm1 in the alarms folder and it will only be selectable as a alarm for various clock apps. However, put the same sound in notifications instead, and it will only be available to apps that use a notification alert, like calendars.
The other advantage to using these three folders is that it keeps the sounds from showing up in media player apps. I can't tell you how annoying it was to have my music playing randomly and then an alarm sound would play. Then I'm checking my phone to see what it is trying to remind me about only to discover that darned thing played in my media rotation.

Are the sounds showing up in the "songs" your media player lists?
I would recommend creating these folders under /emmc in place of /sdcard that way if the SD Card is removed your custom ring-tones/notifications will still work....
here is the folder structure that I am using:
/emmc/Media/Audio/Alarms
/emmc/Media/Audio/Notifications
/emmc/Media/Audio/Ringtones
Mixzing media player, if you use that, also allows you to set mp3's as ringtones.

Is there anything out there I can use to view these "system" folders on my PC? When I look at the phone on my computer I only see a couple folders.
I just use zedge app and let it do all the work.

What I have noticed it that sound files in any of those 3 folders won't show up in my music player whether they are on the phone or the sdcard. If you put a sound file in the media folder it will show up, but nothing in the 3 sub folders will.
I haven't tried putting them anywhere else but I think it's safe to assume that folders named Alarms, Notifications, and Ringtones are ignored.
gadget!
I'm trying to set my own notification sounds for txt messages. After moving the ogg audio files to my sdcard, they show up in es file explorer and I can even select them and they play, but they don't show up in my music list or the settings/notification sound list.
I tried adding a folder on the sd card called "notifications", tried putting the files in the media/audio/notifications folder (with the facebook pop notification), tried changing the files from ogg to mp3, nothing works.
I also tried RingDroid and Rings Extender, and those don't work either, the audio files don't even show up in the lists.
Am I missing something here?
I'm running dd2.7 btw.
Do the sounds show up in your music app along with your other music? Did you try restarting your phone? It's really strange that even after converting to mp3 you can't navigate to it other than through ES. As a kind of lame workaround, if you have ASTRO installed, you can use Rings Extender to select ASTRO and from there navigate to your file.
Nope, they don't show up in the regular music list. I did reboot a few times and that didn't work.
The files are .ogg's I pulled from the Froyo build. Shouldn't matter though, since even converted to mp3 they still don't show up.
I'll try the Astro workaround. Seems like a pain just for a simple txt message tone

create a folder in /sdcard called media
in media create audio
in audio create notifications and ringtones
You should end up with:
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
I can't remember if you have to reboot after you put you sounds in the proper folders but they should now appear under ringtones or notificaitons.
I saw you tried this but this works fine for me. I have several mp3s in ringtones and I just downloaded a new notification 2 days ago and stuck it in there and I am now using it as my corporate email notificaion. I am using the new froyo builds if that helps any.
You should already have a system/media/audio/notifications/ file on your phone. Just move them from your SD card there. I used android commander on my PC. And reboot. They should be there

I know this may seem like a noob question, but I can't manage to set up my ringtones I have downloaded from Zedge as default ringtone. I try to use the default android music selector, but I can't find it as one of the options. I probably have to push the music file somewhere but I don't know the directory.
I tried the Zedge music selector, but whenever i click on a song there, it doesn't play anything. My media volume is set to max.
I tried to use file explorer and go to my Zedge ringtone directory and long press the music file, but it doesn't give me the option to "set music as".
help?
I'm running Gingervillain 1.5, and
adb remount
adb push song.mp3 system/media/audio doesn't work
You can put whatever mp3s you want in a "/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones" directory. Notifications go in a "notifications" directory within the audio folder and alarms in an "alarms" directory.
Open your music player choose your music then press ringtone, or download ringdroid on the market..

And there was me thinking that you should create a folder on the SD card called "Notifications" and stuff all your favourite tones and rings in there..
If you go to Settings -> Personalize -> Ringtones and "Get More" you will be directed to the above "Notifications" folder should it exist...
Sure I read that on the HTC site...

I HAVE to use that dir to store my music, beccause that's the only dir that can be written to by 3rd party apps since android 4.4 (yeah great)
Now the thing is that Music player doesn't auto pick it up, even after restart. So, how to add the music from it to the player?
Would really appreciate some help
talk to me
Check you don't have a .nomedia in that folder or any of the parent folders

This is how I make the stock music player pick-up songs from extcard..
1. Make a folder named Media in your extcard
2. Make another folder named Music also in your extcard
3. Move all your music files in the Media folder in extcard
4. Then lastly move your music files from Media folder to Music folder in extcard..
5. Viola.. You had your music files pick up by the stock music player. .

Yeah that works of course but as it is obvious from the OP this is not a solution in this case, since other, deep folder HAS to be used.

Well, silence is better than ignorance. I mean i'm clearly stating that root dir folder won't cut it, so what's the point of posting that?

I know I use iSyncr to sync my music files from iTunes, and the latest version syncs on my extSdCard inside /android/data/com.jrtstudio.isyncr/music and shows up in Play Music just fine.
So I guess you may want to contact the developer to see how he does it and maybe come up with an app to solve your issue?
Alternatively, use something like PowerAMP that should detect the files just fine.
