Will a memory stick hold and store music mp3s for later retrieval?

Question

I have about 6 gb of music mp3 files on my computer. I would like to clean up my computer and get it all (or almost all) off my computer. I don't want to loose my music though.

I also don't want to have to burn all this music onto cd's to store.

Will a memory stick (or two) be a good way to store this music for later retrieval?

Do you know of any other options for storage if a memory stick won't work?

Answer 1

Yes a memory stick can but you it will be complicated to put it on so you will need to buy a flash drive

and it is safe

Answer 2

when you say memory stick I am assuming you mean flash drive.

A USB flash drive is a NAND-type flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB (universal serial bus) interface. USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable, much shorter than a floppy disk (1 to 4 inches or 2.5 to 10 cm), and weigh less than 2 ounces (60 g). Storage capacities typically range from 64 MB to 32 GB[1] with steady improvements in size and price per gigabyte. Some allow 1 million write or erase cycles[2][3] and have 10-year data retention,[4] connected by USB 1.1 or USB 2.0. USB Memory card readers are also available, whereby rather than being built-in, the memory is a removable flash memory card housed in what is otherwise a regular USB flash drive.

so yes you can use it for such purposes

you can also get a cheap external hard drive and use that as well
