This is exactly what happened to me ..... Check your file extensions - sounds like they are m4a. I changed mine to m4r , re-synched and they showed up in the right spot. Hope that helps ....

If you are using a Windows PC, make sure that you have it enabled to SHOW FILE EXTENSIONS in the folder options. Sometimes, it will let you rename the file to .m4r but it will still be a .m4a file. Example: ringtone.m4r.m4a. When you tell windows to SHOW FILE EXTENSIONS FOR KNOWN FILE TYPES in the folder options then you are given the option to ACTUALLY change the file type. Try this and let us know.
