The 5200/8100 have 3 separate audio areas, 
1 Ringtones, used for calendar, and phonebook and alerts (like SMS arrival).
2 Sounds, recordable by the user and can be sent/received via MMS.
3 Mp3, copied by the user onto an mini sd card, phone automatically
regenerates the index file when the card is inserted into the phone.

I suspect that the carriers (Verizon) did not want people to be able to use
MMS to be able to send ringtones to each other so that they could get more
cash from users by requiring them to download ringtones.

I can't think of a simple way to make this work with bitpim.
