How to Separate Music Genres on a Flash Drive
A flash drive is a small, portable memory device that functions like an external hard drive. However, it is far smaller than an external hard drive and can often fit on your key chain. You can save any file format to the flash drive, including music files. To better organize the music stored on the portable memory device, you may want to separate the music into specific genre folders.
