You should be able to drag and drop selected media directly from iTunes to a folder on your computer. You cannot copy content that is in the cloud or comes from an Apple Music subscription. If iTunes won't let you drag directly to your flash drive then copy to a folder on your desktop, then copy that to the flash drive.


A playlist file exported from the library without the related media files isn't sufficient to play the content elsewhere.
