If you change the event to text message notification, the dropdown again contains a list of files in the Rings directory, but not all of them. I attached my phone to the PC and examined the actual directory while viewing the dropdown and all the file names weren't in the list. For instance, I created a midi ringtone and put it in the Rings folder. It shows up when I have incoming calls selected as the event, but it's not in the list for the incoming text message event.
So the question is--how does the system selectively decide which files to display in the dropdown based on the event you have selected?

Ringtones can be in either the Rings folder or Windows.
All other notifications are only searched in Windows.
Ringtones can be almost any file type. [mp3, WAV, WMA. Maybe others.]
Notifications are usually WAV (or MIDI or WMA).
All of my
added ringtones are in \Windows\Rings and are WMA files. The ringtones that come with the ROM are almost always in \Windows, unless you move them.
All of my notifications are in \Windows and are WAV files.
