Connecting my Android smartphone to the PC (Win 10 Pro 64bit) via USB, accessing it with Mp3Tag is not possible, as the device does not show up at all in the file manager. Would be grateful for a hint. Thank you in advance

I would recommend making changes to the original or backup files that should be stored on your PC first, then copied back to your phone. I would not trust your phone’s storage, or even a uSD card, as a reliable place for the originals. In this case you don’t have to worry about whether you can acce…

USB Tethering is for using the Smartphone as a modem by an external device connected to the usb-port. It's probably "Transferring data".

The important bit is that the phone shows up as drive and not as device.

Some digging around later it looks like neither USB (MSC) mode instead of MTP is available on newer Android phones, as is mounting the phone as a drive.
