Handcent wont play mp3

Ok, hopefully someone can shed some light to me, i'm about to pull out my hair (wait i just shaved my head - nevermind).

I have read over i don't know how many forum pages....

Ok i have handcent downloaded and astro manager downloaded.

I have copied and pasted many sounds to the Notifications folder, but they never show up when i go to choose one from the handcent application settings.

Same as with the Ringtones, they dont show up when i select a contact and want to select a ringtone from that folder.

They are viewable and they do play with the astro app.

I have tried changing the file extensions to .wav .m4a .mp3 None of them will show up.

I have folders set up on card as:

Media
-- Audio
-- Notifications
-- Ringtones
-- Alarms


What THE HECK am i doing wrong?

Thanks for the comments & help.

I think you might have them saved in the wrong places..

your ringtones folder should be saved directly on the removable disk

then the text tones should be.. removable disk>media>audio>notifications

hope this helps and its right.. that's where mine is and them all play fine as mp3's

Nope.

Doesn't matter if i have the "ringtones" folder directly on sd card or under Media folder.

I realize all i SHOULD have to do is have these folders, and cut & paste files from my cpu to my droid sd card. BUT THEY DON'T SHOW UP.

Using tone picker will work, however i shouldn't need it, & i don't like the way it brings up ALL files to choose from. I want to pull up just my notification files or ringtone files.

Anybody have any other ideas/suggestions? This is driving me nuts!!!!!
