So I currently just have default ringtones on my phone, but they're getting very boring. So yesterday, on a whim, I downloaded a ringtone from a Youtube video, and this is what happened:
-Got a text message with the ringtone as an attachment. The attachment was displayed as a "play" button.
-Clicked the play button, the ringtone started playing (my phone showed it as *name*.mp3). When I touched my "list" button at the bottom of my Droid, I had an option to copy the attachment to my SD card so I did.
-Went through my Music folder for my phone. Wasn't there.
-Went into settings and looked at all my ringtones. Wasn't there.
-Downloaded Ringdroid and used it to look at all my sound files. Wasn't there.
-Connected my droid to my computer using my USB cable and dug through all the files (even did a search for *.mp3 files). Wasn't there.
So how do I find/use this ringtone? Supposedly it's on my SD card but I have no idea where it is or how to access it and set it as a ringtone. My phone plays the file just fine and recognizes it as a .mp3 file but once it's saved to my SD card it shows up nowhere.
I paid like $3 for this ringtone so it's not a huge loss if it never works (had to learn my lesson somehow) and since I can just download the song -> put it on my phone -> cut it with Ringdroid, there are other ways but... I'm stubborn I guess.
Help!

You spending $3 on a ringtone makes me weep.
edit- you already know you can do what I just said. Now I don't feel so bad for you spending $3 on a ringtone. :P
edit: Aaaand someone posted an awesome fix in Moe's which ended up with me figuring out how to do it! So, solved!
