Looking to order a USB Flash Drive to export my iTunes library onto pending the arrival of my car.

Any recommendations? I am technologically impaired and have read stories of some particular drives habitually crashing etc.

Thanks!

;)

Anything without preloaded software (i.e. Sandisk U3) will be fine, although if you completely wipe the drive you won't have a problem.

I used to use a 64gb Sandisk in my Focus ST with Sync and it worked well.

You'll enjoy it. I leave mine plugged in all the time. It's like having your own personal radio station as you can set it to play random songs as well as use the voice command to search and play specific songs or artists. Enjoy!

So I bought one of these USB sticks, erased it and installed my iTunes library but it doesn't seem to work with my current FG XR6. If I plug my iPhone in, it works fine but I don't think I have set up the USB with the correct file path so the ICC can read it properly. Can you guys that have set your USB set up successfully elaborate on how you set your library up? Did you for e.g click and drag a certain folder or just select all in your music list and drag it over to your USB stick?

I don't know about itunes and stuff, but make sure the flash drive is FAT formatted, otherwise the car might not like it.

I use this on each flashdrive before it goes to the car: http://fat32-format.en.softonic.com/

The thumb drive arrived a few days ago.

Smaller than I was expecting.

I don't think the FG2 ICC supports playing aac files unless it's through an iPod, but Sync definitely does.
