Assign ringtones from SD?

[Emmrt6]

I can use my mp3 ringtones from my storage card for ringtones. but for notifications it doesn't list them. Is there a way to have the phone pick those up as well from the storage card. I have to put them in Application Data/Sounds on the phone. I tried making a folder like that on the sd card but it still doesn't recognize them for sms, e-mail, etc.. I would love to save the space on the phone memory.
