[Q] Adding notification/ringtone sounds on Lollipop topic

In KitKat, non-stock sounds sitting in a folder on my sdcard were automatically pulled in and were available for use. On lollipop this doesn't seem to be the case - the only way I can get them to show up is to copy them to system/media/, change permissions to 644 and reboot. Root explorer won't even let me change permissions for sound files that are not in system/media.

Is this a new "feature" of lollipop? Or is there another way to get these non-stock sound files to show up as choices for selection? I'm rooted and running LiquidSmooth LP if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance.
