Ringtones in wrong folder

I have just bought a ringtone via iTunes but the tone is saved in the Music folder instead of the Ringtones. How can I move it to the Ringtones folder so that the phone can syncronize it correctly?

Ringtones purchased on a computer, through itunes, are actually songs. They must then be converted into an actual ringtone & purchased as such through itunes. Yes, you have to pay twice:

1. Select the song(in your case "ringtone") you want to use, and then choose Store > Create Ringtone.
2. In the editing window that appears, choose the part of the song you want to use as the ringtone(in your case that would be all).
3. Then click buy.

Note: You can only do this if you're using the US itunes store. You cannot do this using any other country store.

You can avoid all of this by using google to learn how to make your own ringtones for free. If on a mac, you can use garage band to do this.
