I want to choose what I want for a custom alarm tone instead of choosing a list of alarms that mostly go BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. I want to be able to make my alarm tone a song or something more relaxing than waking up to my phone making obnoxious noises. So how do I do this?
 
These are the steps I followed:

1. Create a sub-folder under MEDIA on my SD card called ringtones
2. Copied all of my mp3 ringtones to this folder (I snipped the mp3 clips with a separate app)
3. Press and hold the mp3 tone I want to use for my alarm until the pop-up menu reveals selection Use As Alarm
4. Set my alarm

Note: I updated my firmware build from B06 to B08 over the air earlier this morning.
