Ringtone vs. Notification Issue

I'm trying to select a new notification for difference alerts (IM, BBM, etc), and so i transferred several files (mp3, found here on crackberry) to the media card first, then used media manager from bb desktop.
Now the files are available in the "songs" (music) folder of Media (BB Tour), but I cannot save any of them as notifications, as they are not available in the ringtone folder.
I know there's an easy fix, what is it?
thanks.

Move em to the ringtone folder? You can do it one at a time from your Media icon. Open it and from the menu choose Explore. If you have a bunch I'd do it from the PC via USB or Media Manager if you use that.
