I see that you are seeking the same information that I am on the same phone.... If you figure out how to perform these issues on the phones, please drop me a note and let me know. I will do the same for you if I find out how as well. Thanks for your help!
Hi all. I just got my VX6100 a couple of weeks ago and actually read the review by Allen here on Mobiledia and discovered that the Vx6100 does not support the mp3 format (it only does MIDI)...
The VX6100 supports a full-duplex speakerphone for handsfree access. Additionally, its ring tones are CMX 3.0 MIDI format with support for up to 32 simultaneous chords.
Unlike other formats, MIDI is not a recording of music, but a description, which enables a local synthesizer to play tones from the file instructions. The benefit is that users are able to compose, edit, and send melodies by using sound synthesizer programs.
The CMX format is used extensively in Verizon phones due to its Get It Now service. Created by Qualcomm, CMX allows ring tones "instructions" to be transmitted over the air to the VX6100 rather than the ring tone itself. The result, less bandwidth and faster downloads. The instructions are then followed by the phone to recreate the ring tone file.
Unfortunately, the VX6100 only supports MIDI, and not MP3. While 32 chords is decent, most phones nowadays are moving towards "true" tones. For the most realistic sounds, other forms of recording are used, specifically MP3 format. Unlike MIDI, MP3s are straight recordings from any audio source. Thus ring tones encoded in MP3 format can be music with lyrics, voice, or any other output.
Darn.... zigg

FYI, I uploaded an mp3 ringtone to my vx6100 using a data cable and it plays just fine.

269kb, 17sec. 128kbps file.
I know I can make it smaller but I uploaded it as is and it worked. Sounds pretty cool.
