I was able to place MP3 ringers on my phone using the vx6000 cable & BitPim. When you open BitPim make sure you tell it that your using the LG 4500. Then simply drag & drop your files into the corresponding window, i.e. Ringtones/Wallpaper/Calendar. With the MP3 ringers you have to use an editing program and chop up the MP3 to about 10-15 seconds because the file size is larger than the 5550's internal memory.

I also run on WinXP, but I had no problems at all. Just make sure your BitPim is set to the 4500 and you should be good.
