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.

And I know I don't actually have to have a CD in the drive to play music. I have been moving my CDs to my computer to get rid of the need for that, but this seems like a great solution for storing that music I have already converted to MP3s. Also, it seems like it would make it really easy to download from the flash drive to desktop system, and then load up my MP3 player.

if you only want to store music on it you can buy an ipod.
it contains a music player for mp3 files and it could store a large amount of music. u can hear music on ipod at the gym just like a diskman but with the size of a chip. you can also hear the music on the ipod in your car or on the computer. i think if you want it for music only it's better for u to buy an ipod from apple.

I own a couple of these, and yes you can store files, including music on them. You can play files directly from them also. They are actually called "thumb drives" (no 'r')

yes you can store music or data and play it off the drive, some car radio's have usb ports and you can plug it in there and play the music through the radio
