Use a modern USB-C thumb drive. This is 2024.

I bought a couple of different USB flash drives over a few weeks. None worked. Large capacity, small capacity, high speed, etc . . .
Finally, I just bought an assortment of cheap thumb drives and tried them. They all effin worked, sheesh. I don't think that there is a way to predict which will work, and which won't.
I am enjoying having my entire ripped music library available to listen to.

Any USB drive will work. You just have to make sure it's formatted to FAT32. Most USB drives come pre-formatted to EX-FAT or NTFS which won't be recognized by the truck.
The USB-C port to the right of the 14" display is for media only. Load up a USB stick with music files and the head unit will bring up a player (with horrible "random" capabilities I might add ) that will allow you to play those files. You can't feed audio directly into it.
You can't input a media player into the USB-C port and there is no AUX input, as it was unfortunately deleted from our 2024 Taco.
Your only option is to copy the music files off of your Zune player onto a USB-C thumb drive (memory stick) formatted FAT32 and plug that into the USB-C port.

FWIW, I bought a batch of little right angle USB-C to USB adapters so that I could use a "regular" USB thumb drive (much cheaper and easier to find) with the added benefit of it hanging down the side of the display rather than sticking out of the side.
