Default Getting music to USB Drive?

How are you guys getting your high quality music to your USB drives, and any certain ways to organize it?
I am assuming the quality is much better using a flash drive than bluetooth.
Thanks

I like to keep mine in artist folders. If you get quality files, they should have meta data included that will help organize then further by album under the artist. Lossless files are the best quality

So will the Boom Box play files nested in separate folders or do you put all the music files in 1 folder?

As I said above, I put albums inside [Artist Name] folders and never had issues.

Just download your music to a thumb drive. The Boom Box will sort artist, album, songs, etc..

I had a lot of problems getting something to work. Someone suggested MediaMonkey 5. Tried it and works great!!!

I used Ukeysoft Apple Music to strip the DRM off my music files and transfer them to a USB drive. What I can't figure out how to do is make folders for each playlist. I made folders on the USB drive but the Boom GTX didn't recognize the folders and all of the music came up and played random songs. I have very different music playlist (some the wife doesn't care for) so I would like to be able to pick a playlist for when she rides with me but can't seem to figure out how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
