Hey there GPz1100! Setting your own music to tones can be done by selecting the music file from your music list on your phone, and then pressing and holding on the music file until a pop up menu appears offering you options like "Use as phone ringtone" or "Use as notification tone".

Place the file on the SD Card / media / audio / notifications and then the files will show in system audio directory....  You can do same with Alarm, Ringtones by just creating folders with these labels in same directory as notifications folder..

You can install file explorer like ES File Explorer and create folders like you do on desktop or you can connect to PC and then create the folders from the PC browser.  Click image to animate (I forgot to add the loop command at end)
