FireFly can be used to store and play back all your MP3 files or other multimedia when it is hooked up to a computer that supports USB.

To save disk space on your computer’s internal hard drive, keep the aforementioned types of files on your FireFly. To play back your MP3s and videos, or to show your photos, connect FireFly to any computer that has USB. This means you don’t have to carry several CDs to an event; all you need to bring is FireFly.
