I dont want to complicate things Mitch.
But you really really need to buy a couple of USB sticks and copy your music to each stick.
If your ONE USB stick gets corrupted, – which they DO over time, you wont have a back up.
It is good practice for you, if you done it once its good re-inforcement to do it again while still fresh in your memory.
If your music cataloge is on 2 USB sticks and your laptop as well….all the better.
