[QUOTE="lawdog, post: 1282962, member: 23064"] This is a pretty well-documented problem, but it's actually getting worse. There is some quirk with Sync and the larger iPods, like the Classic. Sync is continually indexing the device, and you cannot perform any meaningful search while this is going on, either through the head unit or via voice. If you use voice, it often will repeat the correct search term, but the result will be whatever artist/song is closest to where it has indexed to that point. My main workaround was just to search for playlists, but now it's even messing that up by playing the playlist one ahead of the one voice-searched for, if it does anything at all...it's incredibly annoying. Now, to make sure it's going to play the playlist I want, I have to plug the iPod in while it's on that list. I have seen on the F-150 forums where some folks just put their whole iTunes library on a thumb drive, but then you lose the search features like playlists, genre, etc. It is astounding to me that Sync cannot play the most dominant personal music player in the history of the planet. My wife's 2012 Mercedes has absolutely no issues, nor did my old 2014 Tundra, nor did a 2018 VW Tiguan I rented recently. Does anyone have a better suggestion/workaround for this issue? How do you play/access your digital music collection in the Raptor? [/QUOTE]
