Anyone know if it is possible to download Itunes movies or music onto a Flash USB device instead of having it downloaded directly onto the HDD or SSD in the Macbook its self?

Trying to save space on my SSD by downloading movies directly onto my USB device instead.

The only way I could get it to download is directly to my iTunes "Purchased" sub-category. You could download them onto your HDD/SSD, transfer them onto your USB device, and then delete the one you downloaded on your HDD. That's the most tedious way, but the only way I could find. I got my flash drive, and synced it up with iTunes, but it would only allow me to use it as a playlist. I think all songs downloaded have to go through the downloads folder first, then it will get sorted out to the appropriate section.
