I changed from the Samsung Captivate to the Atrix on day one and I thought I knew android OS. However, nothing I did (I put the tones in every folder imaginable) would maintain my ringtones, alarms, and notifications settings after each reboot or remount of the SD card. It was as if the phone could not find the tones I had previously set if the card (internal or external) was scanned. I would have either randoms mp3s from the card or I would see "unknown" tone when I checked the app. This happen with contacts, SMS and with the alarm. BTW, an alarm set to "unknown" is silent and you will be late to work!
I finally found on XDA-developers that I should try using RootExplorer to copy my files to the System Root (not the internal or external SD root). That way it is not in something being scanned again at reboot. You must be rooted and have the RootExplorer setting to RW, not RO.
This is what I had to do to get it to work, but there maybe other ways. I'd love input if someone knows of another way. It would be preferable to have my many tones on the card.
Good luck
