Can you save music on a flash drive / memory stick.

Is it possible to save your iTunes library onto a flash drive/memory stick? I am a bit on the 'silver surfer' side so don't know if I have the terminology right. Thanks for any help. It is my ipod but I want to free up space on my PC. Thank you.

Yes.

Locate your iTunes library by opening iTunes, clicking 'Edit' on the menu bar and then clicking 'Preferences'. Select the 'Advanced' tab and take note of the library file path.

Insert your memory stick into the appropriate slot on your computer.

Open your operating system's file browser. For Windows XP or earlier, this will be 'My Computer' Find the library folder noted in the iTunes preferences.

Select the iTunes library folder. Click and drag it to the drive icon for your memory stick and release it.

Of course you have to make sure you have a large enough flash drive/memory stick to accommodate your iTunes library!

Oh thank you, that's really helpful. I'll give it a go tomorrow (or when I have bought a big enough stick!).
