You need to use an external device to do that, making it extremely convoluted and annoying to do.
USB’s are pretty easy to use…am I missing something? Assuming the file you want to import didn’t originate on the computer you would have to import from an external device via email or usb. It’s really not that complicated and I’m not sure why you are over exaggerating the complexity of the issue.
It's 2025. You shouldn't need an external device to manage the files of the already perfectly-capable device that's in your pocket. I manage to do so just fine with my Android. I can download whatever media I want directly to it and play said media with whatever player app I choose.
