3 Although your phone will find all music files on your SD card, it’s advisable to keep the number
of files or folders at the root level to a minimum. So, if you wish, create a folder at the top-level
called “music” (or whatever you want) to store your files.
4 Open this folder and copy music files into it. (Read more in “Supported music formats” on
page 105.) If you want, create folders within “music” to organize your music further.
If you want to use certain music files as phone, notification, or alarm ringtones, then create the
following folders:
• ringtones - Music files copied to the “ringtones” folder will display in the phone (incoming
call) ringtone menu. (Read more about setting a song as a phone ringtone in “Create
ringtones from songs” on page 110.)
• notifications - Music files copied to the “notifications” folder will display in the notifications
ringtone menu.
• alarms - Music files copied to the “alarms” folder will display in the Alarm ringtone menu.
Note: If you do not want a ringtone to appear in your music Library but you do want it to be
available as a ringtone, then create the “ringtones”, “notifications”, or “alarms” folder outside
your “music” folder.
5 When finished copying, close the USB drive window and unmount or eject the drive as required
by your computer's operating system. Remove the USB cable from your phone and computer.
