Novice questions about itunes music to be used with a USB thumbdrive

[Karl Agathon]

Just got a Roku XDS and wanted to take advantage of its USB input to play all the music in my itunes collection on my HT system. All the music is DRM free. First question is, do I copy just the specific music folder onto the drive? Or the entire itunes folder?

Secondly, are most thumb drive brands basically the same? Or, is there a specific one that someone can recommend? Thanks!

The answer to the first question depends on the size of the thumb drive. If it is large enough, just copy the entire iTunes folder.

Keep away from the cheapest drives. Other than that, they are more or less the same.

Thanks for taking he time to reply. Currently looking at a few on Newegg. I asked about folders because wasn't sure if itunes had a seperate area for just for album artwork. Will just drag the entire folder then.
