correction upon moving it to that folder (the media folder) i can now choice the ring tone for text messages. but it doesn't play. it plays the default sound when i have my ringtone checked.

okay when i set the tone to notifications it only goes off for voicemails. that is what i've figured out so far. i will try changing it to .mov later this week and see what happens.
