I think I see now why I saw what seemed like a hundred "ringtone" files
(and "notification" files) when I ran various apps, some of which say "ui"
next to them while others list the maker of the phone hardware.
. Battery caution
. Beep once
. Bubbles
. Call connect
. Call disconnect
etcetera
There may even be more than a hundred, most of which are less than a second
long.
. Camera click short
. Camera empty
. Camera focus
. Chirps
etcetera
Where are all those hundreds of one-second ringtone files hiding?
The Android Media Converter app shows these directories but the files shown
above are somewhere else.
/storage/emulated/0/Music
/storage/emulated/0/Ringtones
/storage/emulated/0/Notifications
/storage/emulated/0/media/ringtones
/storage/emulated/0/MediaConverter
/storage/emulated/0/MicDroid/recordings
etcetera

I am having trouble with the OGG files so maybe I need to convert them?

Thanks. Mostly I'm just saying "jane is calling" and then the Songify app
turns that into a much longer song. So I can use Ringdroid to cut it down
to a minute and a half.
