How do I set a custom MP3 as a ringtone for other notifications?

I have an HTC Droid Incredible running Android 2.2 FroYo and would like to use custom sounds/songs as ringtones for text message notifications, event and task reminders, Facebook and Twitter notifications, and email messages. I have the MP3s that I want to use located in the /ringtones directory of my phone, but they don't show up on the list of possible sound effects/tones/notifications, but they do show up in the selection for incoming call ringtones. What do I do to use them?

To do this you need to create a folder called "notifications" on the root of your SD. You could mount your device to do this or use an application "Astrow" either way, Put your MP3 files here and you can use them as Notification sounds as well as ringtones.

RingDroid will let you use any MP3 or part of an MP3 or even record your own sound as an MP3 as a ringtone.

Here's the QR Code:

I use Tone Picker to use any of my mp3 or other audio files for ringtones or other alerts. Even clock alarms!

Pro Tip: ambient music makes for a lousy wake-up call.
