Where are notification sounds in 6.1?

Where are the notification .wav or .mp3 sounds stored in WinMo6.5?

I'm trying to import some custom sounds for notifications. The TP2 doesn't seem to "see" them when pasted in Windows/rings. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

As usual... help gets thanks.

Notifications have to be in .wma format. But it depends on which rom you are running. Sometimes the rom and custom notifications don't agree. You can see them, select them, but the rom will default back to the notification sounds within the /windows/rings folder. (I can't remember which rom I was running that did that btw)

If you are running Resco file explorer, it doesn't see stock sounds in the folder since they are system files.

Convert the custom sound you want to .wma and drop in the folder like anyother custom sound file.

I put it in .mp3 and it was recognized by my WM Notifications settings, so it seems that it will work in either format once int he "My Documents" folder.

Unfortunately... though it WAS recognized by Windows Mobile as an availible ringtone... it WAS NOT recognized by the program in which I was REALLY hoping to use the sound: Pocketwit. I really liked the notification in Tkitkini (little bird chirp when updates occur).

Tried a .wma and .mp3 in My Documents, but no go.

Still trying, though.
