Large storage SSD plays on my 2025 Lariat Both FLAC & MP3

I'm in your Boat with paying for Subscription / streaming music services. I have a vast collection Music I have collected over the years and stored on my Home NAS.

If you have any old Thumb Drives of any size use it for trial and error on a few MP3's to learn how to do it.

Hi. I do have a USB connected, but it takes forever to load, that's why I'm asking if it takes forever to load or is just my perception?

I use a SanDisk 128gb USB a micro thumb drive with about 2700 songs on it. Plays and searches songs just fine in my 24 xlt. I believe it's supposed to be formatted in EXFAT.

I don't think I have sync on my 24 XLT in any version, so the thumb drive was the answer. I used a small 16GB thumb drive and could not get it to read the drive. Thought maybe it was to large for the system. I ordered a package of 1GB thumb drives and labeled them for different genres of music. These work great. I brought the 16GB in and plugged it into the computer to reformat it. It wouldn't reformat and I couldn't read anything on it. That thumb drive was no good. It went in the trash. I haven't tried a different thumb larger than 1GB as I like to just swap the drive when I want to hear different music. Loads the smaller drive very quickly. That's the first thumb drive I have had fail. I usually lose them or give them away before they go bad. I am not in the truck for long periods so I can't justify a monthly subscription service. I have 268 songs on one of the 1G drives with room for more. That's big enough for me.

I think I have a 256gb or so and besides slow(according to me) it works good. You might got a defective,wrong formated or simply a rip off unit, even on Amazon you could get a shifty one.
