Default [Q] How can I set an mp3 as my sms message tone?

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?

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
