Transcend 64GB Flash Drive
I bought a 64Gb USB flash drive made by Transcend to store my audio disc collection in MP3 format. It was an amazing journey going through my old discs and looking over the artwork and thinking about the anonymity of a flashdrive. And yet with 500 or so discs it’s hard to remember what you have so I suppose discs can also have their own form of anonymity. I used Apple iTunes which worked well for creating an audio library. I’m not crazy about Windows Media Player or that other one, Real Something 
iTunes has a better file management system and can retrieve artwork if you have an account with iTunes. I’m not trying to push iTunes: it just happens to work better then anything else right now. If you can get Windows Media Player to play along then more power to you. I could not get it to play more then one song at a time.
The Transcend JetFlash is not the fastest in writing (nor the slowest) but then I’m only adding anyway for portable music access. Reading is acceptable. The drive is a little larger then a standard drive (wider) and in some circumstances it will fit very tightly. The Transcend JetFlash 64Gb includes a USB extension cable to work around that issue. The JetFlash also ships with a detachable lanyard . I bought it for $70 during Christmas. Looking on Transcend’s web site it’s retail is $189.00 $100 on Amazon
