Custom (MIDI) ringtones on N97, howto?

[JCC]

Hi,

I'm playing around with my new N97 for two days now and I am slowly going mad with frustration on how to get some of my custom ringtones on my phone.
What I want to achieve is that when I edit a contact and select another ringtone, I want my folder to pop-up in the list or add my own tones to the default "Tones" directory.
I have placed the files (some midi, some mp3) on the 32gb phone memory, but these are not listed while selecting a ringtone. I can't find the "Tones" directory anywhere on the device.
The refresh routine searches for media files once I disconnect the USB cable, but it does not find my MIDI files. In addition to this, the ringtone selection uses a artis/album/title search mechanism, where I just want the simple directory structure... Aaargh..

Is there a way to make my phone use a custom directory for a ringtone depository? (on the big 32Gb space?)
Or what is the recommended way to add your own ringtones?

Luckily (for me) I use mp3 files, I just change the artists/album to read "Ringtone" and transfer them like any other music.

Does the N97 support MIDI files ?

Mephisteus,
Yeah, figured that one.. Forces me to keep my ID3 tags extra tidy on my music collection.. 32gb of space..brr.. Well at least there is Godfather...

93tid,
Yes it does.
I figured out a way to change the main ringtone to a custom MIDI. Go into apps->Office->FileBrowser browse to the midi file, double tap to start media player. From there you can add it to a contact just like any other MP3.
