So I was excited at the prospect of Apple Music as an app in the car allowing me to play my large collection of tunes with a decent and consistent interface that I was used to using. I'm afraid I'm in for another disappointment, but perhaps you can point me in the right direction. I'm only interested in playing my own collection of music, I neither want nor need any streaming service (my musical tastes are, shall we say, weird, and there's little to nothing for me on the streaming apps, including Apple).
Hit a cold stop at the first step. The version on the Tesla is insisting that I log into my Apple Music account before it will do anything else. I don't have, and don't want an Apple Music account. Apple music works just fine with no account (and no monthly bill) on all of my other devices. Now I'm wondering whether if I pay them their $10/month or whatever, whether it will even work, or whether it is a crippled version that only does streaming. Anyone know?
Second, and perhaps irrelevant if I can't get past the first, I copied my iTunes folder with all my recordings in it onto a thumb drive (formatted in the Tesla, to be sure it was right) and I can't figure out how to access it. There's no USB choice in the Media Center. The car can apparently see the drive because the recording function seems happy. It's plugged in in the glove compartment, which I understood to be the port that reliably does data.
