I am going to give this a try. If they say no, then I will just stick with Spotify or figure out how to play music off of a USB drive.
Easy peasy for usb drive, thats all I use or FM radio.

@CACTUSGREYFX4 - what file format are you using for music and does it play using the native Ford system or are you launching through an app that reads from the USB?

I renewed mine but mixed feelings about Sirrus sound quality. I kept it for convenience but listen to Amazon as it has higher quality bit rate and has an eq feature.

If all you want is music, then Sirius may not be your thing. I use it for talk radio and keeping up with national news, because local TV news is highly biased. It happens all the time, my friend or wife will ask did you hear this or that? Yeah, hours ago. And I heard the whole story.

My wife pays for Sirius. She has 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s music setup and a ton of talk radio stations. As long as I have it I listed to MLB Talk Radio.

I think it too expensive for what you get, but I'm not paying for it. The wife is.

I’ve been a Sirius subscriber since 2004. I couldn’t imagine listening to terrestrial radio. I just call or message them once a year to negotiate and typically get it for $4.99 to 6.99 a month. I drove a lot so I’m ok with that.

I'll have to mention that to my wife. She just gets a bill from Sirius and pays it.

I also use MP3's and add album art using MusicBrainz Picard.
Thanks for the tip about album art. Most of my music files are in flac format, so I will need to find a program that will convert to mp3 format.
