Maybe I sound silly, but my friend just told me tonight about something he called a "thumb" driver, which is basically an external USB flash drive that you can use to store data. It simply hooks up to your CPU via your USB port, and you are good to go.
What I am wondering is if I can use one to store music on. I know it is not a music player, but I am in the process of changing my WMA files to MP3 files to conserve room on my hard drive, and I was thinking this would be an excellent place to store music.
Also, I was wondering if I buy one of these tiny drives, can I play files directly from them? So if I had a bunch of MP3 files stored on one, could I just open it up with the help of my Windows Media Player and access the music from the external flash drive and listen to it on my computer while I do other things? That would be really convenient, as I wouldn't have to have a disc in the disc drive when I was doing something else.
Any help or information is appreciated.
