    I recently downloaded all the old BB7 ringtones & notifiers.
    I put them all in my SD card under "ringtones"
    my "music" folder in my SD card is filled with music.
    None of the ringtones/notifiers are in the "music" folder on my SD card.
    However when I open the "music app" on my Z10, it's showing up as music.
    So... "shuffle songs" will play random songs from my music, and once & a while it will play BB7 ringtones & notifiers.
    Kind of annoying, I've tried everything to get it out of there. nothing is working.

    That stinks! Should be fixed in a future update but for now that just stinks. Have you tried using a 3rd party app to play your music and see if it can tell the difference between a ringtone and song?

    No i haven't
    I like using the BlackBerry Music App.
    It looks nice, and I love it.
    I will deal with this problem, not a big deal.
    Just thought someone knew a quick fix.
    No biggie. Phone is awesome.

    Someone very well may have a fix. I don't own a Z10 so I couldn't help you troubleshoot if I wanted....hmmm now that I think of it you could try moving the ringtones to the Android/ringtones folder. Maybe that will work?

    Anyway good luck hopefully someone here can chime in with a fix.

    Load your ringtones into the "Music" folder on your sdcard. To activate the ringtones on BBM, text, Phone, messages etc, go to "notifications" icon, select a notification alert like BBM, then click on "tone", a dropdown menu appears, click on "Browse Music...." and this will bring you to your sdcard files. Select the "Music" file and then select your ringtone.

    This is what did too. Quick and easy (hopefully temporary) workaround.

    bump...did anyone find a proper solution.
    Is there a specific folder we should save custom ringtones in? A folder that the BB Music app wouldn't find them?

    This issue should be addressed and fixed, considering the price one pays for the phone. Kinda like the useless black berry bridge. The lack of having the option to place ringtones in a separate folder creates more work for the end user. Guess one can say the smart phone is only as smart as the persons who makes it.

    You can put your tones in the cloud like box for instance, or put them in the voice folder point your notifications to the new path and they won't show up in you music library.

    I see the same issue as well. When I connect to my vehicle via Bluetooth the music app automatically opens wanting to play my ringtones. I've become used to the behavior now that I understand what is happening.

    Has anyone figured out how to keep the ringtones out of the music library. I've loaded about 1000 songs and 200 ringtones. the time to make a playlist without ringtones is not easy to come by. there has to be a folder that the music app doesn't look in for music.
    please give me some advice....

    Put them in your voice folder. They won't show up there.

    While true that is not really the issue the OP is having.

    My ringtones don't show in my music library.
    I did much the same and put my ringtones on my SD in a folder called Ringtones but that folder is in the BlackBerry folder (Z:\BlackBerry\Ringtones).
    I don't know if this makes a difference but my ringtones don't show or play in a shuffle.

    Just put your ring tones in a folder.
    Right click the ring tones and in properties change the album name and the genre to ringtones.
    The ringtones will then be separate from your other music and will only play when you select them.

    There is nothing wrong with the music player. This is put in to make the music player better.
    Once you learn about music tags you will see how great it works on the Z10

    How do you right-click on a Z10?
    There is no option for changing the album name and genre. The only options are to change the name of the ringtone. The folder properties also doesn't give you this option.

    You do realize we're talking about a Z10 issue, don't you?

    Yes of course, you plug the Z10 in to a computer.
    Then manipulate the properties.

    Ah...you didn't mention plugging into a computer and adjusting settings from the computer side. I didn't know it was even possible to adjust folder properties on the phone from a connected computer.

    Yeah. It's pretty neat, you can also adjust the album art within the folder just put a jpg pic in the folder and name the pic "Folder" the pic will become the album art for that folder.
    You can do that for each folder of music.

    I created a folder inside "misc" called "Ringtones" with my custom Ringtones in there. I am not using an sd card... works a treat. If I now select "Browse Music..." I can just tap the "misc" folder then tap "Ringtones". :-)
