    Alright, last resort here.

    I'm new to Apple - I was a windows phone guy... So just how do I copy a tune or songs to a USB stick so I can listen to it in my car. Yes, it's on my phone already and I can just do the Bluetooth thing, but I like seeing the Album art displayed. But for the life of me I cannot figure out how to copy a tune from iTunes over to a USB stick. (I can hear you all laughing now) I've done the drag / drop like the apple help thing says, but no luck. It's copying a link, not the actual song.

    Tks in advance for any help.

    Maybe we can stumble along together? I used to know that stuff, had Apple gear a long time. But they've changed iTunes so much I don't actually use it for music anymore.

    I know you can make it reveal the file linked to a given song listing, and then copy that, but I think that's only good for one track at a time.

    Have you tried holding any modifier keys while dragging?

    EDIT: I've just tried a simple drag and it worked, I wound up with an mp3 file in the location I dragged it to.

    Perhaps it doesn't like the filesystem on your usb stick? have you tried dragging to a staging folder on your computer, then copying to the stick?
