How to transfer music to the phone?

 

I just installed OTA 9 (finally! Bug #1538793) and thought it would be
fun to set a ringtone.  I fired up the Music app and it says:

> No music found
>
> Connect your device to any computer and simply drag files to the Music
folder or insert removable media with music.

So... isn't that a bit optimistic?  I think I have managed to get my
Macbook talking to my MX4 in the past using the command line and adb,
but that was not simple.  Certainly when I plug my phone into my
computer no folders appear.  What process is actually being described in
that message?  As I understand it, mounting phones as normal volumes is
a thing that isn't done any more, instead there's a separate file
transfer protocol which of course requires dedicated software on the
computer end.
