I admit I'd like to get way more knowledgeable about how this thing works but til then, I'm glad I can download apps that let me use it's talents both productively and frivolously.
Long term though, if no good apps become readily available to the less tech-savvy masses (i.e. me etc), the N900 would be much less attractive to us plug and play types, thereby reducing its commercial viability for Nokia.
The iphone (the Paris Hilton of technology) would be nowhere without its apps. They are the only reason to get one imho. Which shows there is a market for the N900 and the great apps being developed for it.
But in the meantime (and with respect to all), I hope this community doesn't alienate us non-coders by making us feel like idiots every time we ask questions like the op did.
P.S. Btw ToG, how are you with fuel injection systems and do you live anywhere near Sydney...?

You can put MP3 ringtones in the /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds directory to have them show as system sounds
and
aac/mp3 files in
/home/user/MyDocs/.sounds/Ringtones
to have them show as ringtones.

If you are going to put mp3's into the .sounds/ringtones folder I believe they need to be converted to aac format for automatic listing and usability when changing settings for ring tone. I put a mp3 file in there and it gave an error when selecting it in the list. You can also click on the add button and use any mp3 that you might have in your music library on the phone.

You have a point, I have noticed that if someone here ask a question they are treated disrespectfully, but hey, that tells a lot about the attacker, doesn't it...!!!
Why do you have to attack the poor guy? Seriously, any time someone asks a question on here they are attacked and hailed as iphone users. What is wrong with you people - we're talking about phones here - everyone calm down.
OP: easiest way, for now, is to make your own ringtone. Try this site: http://makeownringtone.com/
Or download a program like Audacity or Reaper - it's fun to learn to use an audio editor.
My two cents

BUT they still dont show up in the list of ringtones. If I use the "import" option it is selectable, but I can still only have ONE personal ringtone in the list of ringtones.

I've used this site before, they have more than just ring tones and it's all free:
http://www.zedge.net/
Here's the n900 page:
http://www.zedge.net/phone-index/2-3...ia/nokia-n900/
I haven't got my n900 yet, but I'm sure it should all work.
edit I should note that some of the ring tones and wallpaper images might not be SFW
