Default Messages ringtones

How do you add a new ringtone under new messages? When I receive a message I would like it to play a ringtone of my own. Any ideas?

Just so I don't mess up and end up with files all over the place would that be;

Explorer>Windows>Rings ?

I know it sounds simple but I can mess up even the easiest jobs on these things!

You can put them in 'Internal Storage\My Documents\'
Then you don't have to worry about the space

I cna't tell you how much that has been annoying me and yet the answer when it came was so simple... a bit like me!

PS And it works with my ringtone as well... thus freeing up the space on my device memory! You know, I sometimes wonder how I get through the day without hurting myself!!!

I have two problems with this:

1. Storing ringtones on the Internal Storage makes them show up in the Music tab! No thanks I don't want to listen to ringtones when playing my music, is there a way to stop this other than keeping them on My Device memory?

2. The topic is actually regarding message tones and not just ringtones and I cannot see any of my files to select for a meesage tone. They are MP3 files which work fine for ringtones.
Does this phone not allow MP3s to be used for messages?

1. Don't use the TF3D music player!!

2. I have no problems with mp3 message sounds... and I have them in 'Internal Storage/my Documents'

I quite like the TF3D player actually and I'd rather use the built in one than go to run another app especially as I use a stereo BT headset and press play on that which automatically starts the TF3D player.

I've put loads of MP3 files in Internal Storage\My Documents\MyRingtones and while they all appear ok for actual ringtones I can't see a single one for use as a message tone, only the default files are there.
Is there a size, bpm, frequency limit or anything?
