I made multiple copies of a small .mp3 file and placed them in a large range of folders. I renamed each to reflect the path at which it was located so I could easily tell where each one was located from within the audio manager. I ran through many edits of the registry music file search paths and ringtone exclusion path. I tried adding a ring_tone_path_0.
My firm conclusion is that none of these settings has any effect whatsoever on files located on a storage card.
Setting device_scan_path_path and device_scan_path_path_0 to a directory on the storage card will certainly locate any music files in that directory, but it'll find them just as easily if you DON'T do that. It just won't find any music files on the device memory unless a path containing them is supplied, except that anything in the \MUSIC directory will be added to the library even if you don't specify it in the search path.
Setting ring_tone_path to any directory on the device will exclude any sound files in that path. Setting it to any path (and I tried many) on the storage card has no effect - that is, files in that path will be added to the library anyway. Believe me, I tried creating directories on my storage card with every name mentioned in this thread as being capable of being excluded from ringtone searches but it made not the slightest difference.

However, none of this matters much. Basically, ringtones don't really belong on a storage card.

Just for any1 who ever searched for a solution to this problem & want to have alerts/notification + ringtones (a/n & rt are mutally exclusive) not show up in the TF3D Music tab - this was my solution thanks to mstevens:
1) Place your alerts/notication sounds in the
\Windows directory on the device.
2) Place your ringtones in
\My Documents\My Ringtones\on the device.
3) Place your music in
\Storage Card\My Documents\My Music\ on the storage card.
4) Ring_tone_path is
\My Documents\My Ringtones
walla -
A) Ringtones are not in the TF3D Music Tab & still assignable in
Sounds>Advanced>Notifications.
B) Music only shows up in TF3D Music Tab
TF3D Music searches for sounds, tones in any folder on the TP+TP2 EXCEPT
\Windows & \My Documents\My Ringtones\ apparently.
