Unable to copy iTunes songs from Mac to USB flash drive

copy/burn songs to memory stick from iTunes on MAC?

Why can I burn songs to portable media CD, but I can't copy/burn them to a portable memory stick?

I can drag and drop, but many of the songs do not/will not get copied?

iMac 24″, macOS 15.6

Do not burn your memory stick. It will cease to function.


You can copy songs to it via drag-n-drop. But if you try to do too many songs at once it will mess up. Do small batches, and check after each batch that all the songs copies correctly before you do more.
