Well, I would like to take my iTune songs on my desktop computer and get them somehow to play on my Maverick. I have Sync3.
I'm 65, never owned an iPod, don't know what a mp3 player is, but I know someone out there can help me. I do have an iPhone13.
Thanks!

I’m guessing that you use an iPhone.
I think you have at least a couple options.
Sync your phone to iTunes and have it put your music library in your phone. Use CarPlay.
Transfer your music to a thumb drive. Plug that into the usb.

I think that there are some posts here on the forums about this.

From one old man to another dadd75 is right.its by far easier to just put your music on a jump drive,leave it plugged in and be done with it.get a grandchild or borrow one ,tell them what you want to do and I guarantee they can handle it.might want to get who ever does it to set it up in the truck for you.this is what i did🤪

Unless something fundamental has changed since I last had an iPhone, all you need to do is sync your music to your phone and then choose your phone as the audio source on the infotainment screen in the Maverick. If your phone is paired for Bluetooth, the music should play. If it's not, that's step 1.

You'll get more functionality from using CarPlay, though.

I googled how to get my songs from my desktop iTunes to my iPhone13 and also to a thumb drive. Both work in my Maverick! I am a happy 'old fart!' I have a wireless carplay adapter in my truck, everything works just fine.

I love it that the "old" solution to music is not cassette or CD, but iTunes. :LOL: I am now old

Before I got my Maverick, I did not know about Apple Carplay. I used cd's, which my 2018 F150 still came with a cd player, or I just listened to the radio. Technology! I remember my first year in college, fall of 1975, a Texas Instrument calculator was $100 and it basically did what a $5 one you can buy at WalMart today does.

Sometimes technology works for you, like today. Apply Carplay is a wonderful thing no need for every look at your phone while driving. BTW, I remember when the TI-30 was THE calculator to get in high school and college...

I guess the year I spent waiting for my truck to be delivered and reading this blog everyday may have brought me into the 21st century :)

Will Amazon Alexa work also?

Thanks.
I also have the Amazon Alexa app on my phone.
Apple Carplay uses Siri. No need for an app. You tube would be your friend in learning how to use Siri.
