I connected the Duo to my PC and tried to copy my music to the Duo.  On my old phone I could copy the music to the phone by using windows explorer and just copy and paste to the phone.  On the duo I get an error message saying the device is no longer connected.  When I look at the Duo in windows explorer you can't see anything no folders at all.  My old phones folders showed up.  

I tried windows media player but the duo doesn't show up to sync to.  

Anyone know how to get music conveniently to the duo?

    Was experiencing the same issue. Found the following setting. On the Surface Duoopen Settings, search for USB. Select USB Preferences, under "Use USB for" select File Transfer.

    Windows now will be able to connect to Duo and allow file transfer via File Explorer.

    Cheers!

    Good real-world practice until v2 which I'm hoping for next year about this time.

    Use USB cable 3.0 and activate developer options.... Tap build number ( times. Turn o. USB debugging and your pc will recognize surface duo for file transfer.
