You don't sync with iTunes at all. Don't want to assume your level of computer knowledge, so I will just go detailed step-by-step for maybe those members that are not into computers.

Here's what you do:

- insert your USB drive
- go to My Computer and open the flash drive.
- then go to My Documents
- open My Music
- open iTunes library
- select the Artist/album files you want.
- drag and drop into the flash file

The write speed is much slower than the read speed, this is normal. No need to convert to mp3 or anything. On your deck(non-iDrive) you just select USB option all the way to the right and then you can select Artist-Album-Song, whichever you prefer.
