Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I did but it doesnt seem to work. I think there is a problem with the file itself possibly. I will just reformat it into FAT32 while I'm at it, thanks for the help again! Its just youtube music anyway, it will be much quicker just to reformat this thing every few days lol
Yep, and FAT32 should give you less trouble, but do make sure the removable storage device is properly unmounted before pulling it from the USB port. Especially important if having just written data to it
Note that unmounting can take quite a long time if you've just written a lot of data to the device. Your kernel's buffers can be holding a lot of data (gigabytes) that need to be flushed out to that slow USB flash drive before the unmount can complete, and some drives don't have a flashing light to tell you that the operation is still ongoing.
