Transfer your iTunes music to a USB drive

To copy songs from iTunes to a USB: Insert the flash drive into a USB port, and open it so it looks like a folder on your desktop.

Then highlight the songs in your iTunes library that you want, as follows:

• To highlight one song, click it.
• To highlight a range of songs, click the first, hold Shift, and click the last.
• To highlight a bunch of selected songs that are not in order, hold the CTRL key and click each one.
• To highlight all the songs in the view, click one, and then CTRL-A.

Once they are highlighted, simply drag them to the folder.

If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller before you start this process, so that you will be able to do the drag.

One thing I meant to add: this process copies the songs to the USB. It does not change anything in your iTunes library.
