Blue & Me - idiots guide

Hi, i've just bought a brand new grande punto with the blue & me system. Now i'm not a complete idiot with technology, but i'm no computer genius, so you might need to bear with me. I'm really interested in using an mp3 device in conjunction with the blue & me system. However the laptop i syncd my ipod to is no longer in use, so i couldn't convert my tracks to mp3. To be honest, as a bit of a technophobe, i don't think i could be bothered to do this anyway. I think my best bet would be a cheap USB memory stick. What i want to know is it is as simple as burning tracks off my cds onto (say) windows media player, transferring them to the USB device and away i go. If there is anything more i need to know i would appreciate it. Thanks

Yes that should work. The only thing is I would make sure you dont get too big a USB, since I believe 4GB is about the max (to do with power supply I think).

I have an 8GB memory stick which works fine. I wonder if it depends on the stick itself?

I have a 4gb card which is fine, about a tenner from ebay.

Only thing you do have to do is ensure all the music files are mp3's. I downloaded (and paid for) AllMusicConverter, which is really easy. It converted about 400 songs in less than 15minutes.
