I just can't get my music onto my phone – via any method!

A

AC Question

I need to transfer music to my Nexus 5X. I bought a USB cable just for this but Android File Transfer says it "can't connect to device storage", for reasons unknown. (Yes, I made the screen was unlocked before connecting the cable.)

So I try the online solutions. But download links for Music Manager and Google Play Music both take me to the same screen, for Play Music, and request that I add a payment method to verify my address. Which seems unnecessary, since I already have a credit card linked to Google Wallet (and I don't even want a music subscription)... but ok. I add a card. I click save. I get returned to the "add payment method" screen, with absolutely no clue as to what the problem is or how to proceed.

I've tried this repeatedly with different payment cards, all registered to my address here in Switzerland, same as my Google account. No progress. No clue as to what the problem might be. Any ideas?
