Audio files as Ringtones. What folder do I really put it under?

[Damien Sed]

There seems to be differing opnions as to under what folder you need to put your mp3 or whatever other format you want to use as custom ringtone, notification etc (e.g. one says sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/ another says sdcard/ringtones) and neither worked for me.

Does anyone know how to get my own mp3s to show up under setting when I want to pick the ringtone or notification sounds?

Thanks!

cant you just put them anywhere and then use the picker to choose it?

I've only done it by putting the file I want to use in /system/media/audio/ringtones. Never tried another method.

When i plug my N4 into my computer (win7) and explore to the device there is a ringtone folder. Every mp3 i have dropped into that folder has been available in my ringtone settings.
