NO CD PLAYER SUCKS
I love my new 23 F350 King Ranch but I HATE not having a CD player. I have a portable I had to buy because my laptop also did not come with a CD/DVD player and I tried to plug it into the truck but it would not work. I got power but nothing else. HOW can I get a functional CD player? If I have to use digital music, what is the best way to get the tunes I want to hear and the ability to select between them? Thanks for any help.

Spotify. Or, if you have a lot of CD's, rip them to your computer, and then load them onto your phone or a memory card.
I had a 2000 cd collection. Now i use spotify exclusively for non radio music.

Well my dinosaur bones are showing. I don't even know what Spotify is. I do have Amazon Prime and have bought a few albums there. I also have bought a couple singles from my Apple Phone (also new to me) So I hoped I could download the Amazon Music App TO my truck since it has internet and a place for apps but it NEVER EVER Finds any apps for me to use. Is there some secret to using these features that I am unaware of? Is there anyway NOT to us my phone to listen to music that I choose?

Depending on your cell phone provider and plan you are on, you might get apple music streaming for free. Spotify costs like $10 or so per month. We use it when sitting on the beach.
You can rip your cd's to a USB memory card, and use that then no phonenor internet is needed.

So if I put music on a thumb drive - USB stick - and plug it into the USB on my truck, will it play the music? Or actually, how do I use a memory card? I have several CD's that I burned on my laptop and would love it if I could hear that music. In the mean time I'm doing a free trial of Amazon unlimited since I already have prime. Next time I am in the truck I'm going to see if I can get it to work but I hate having to use the phone. Seems to me the truck should let me add app and go from there

Thank you for the information. Could you link an acceptable thumb drive for both music and the vehicle? I have a couple but they are older and I'd prefer to buy a new one.

No idea what I would buy I haven't used one in about 10 years and have a few in my "junk" drawer if I need one. They really haven't changed much, just buy your favorite brand.

They replaced vhs/cassettes, and can still be bought, and if you buy them at a store that sells the used you can get some cheap content. I set up a media server I can access from my phone and have replace 99% of my streaming services for less than $1500, and it is mine, I don't have to worry about which service has what when or pay for access to use the content or deal with ads. Last time I bought dvd's/blueray's I paid 50 cents per dvd and $1 for blueray's. I think I bought around 400 then. Music cd's are even cheaper.

I’ve seen CDs at goodwill for 50 cents to a buck each. They sell pretty fast once they put them out.
