NTFS would be the best and most secure however I know OS X can read it and I am pretty sure it can write to it as well.
If not,  go with x-fat aka fat64.

Hey all, maybe a simple question but it isn't for me. So your advice would be welcome.

Basically, I have a flash drive sitting here that I'm thinking of using with somebody to act as the go between for transferring music files. The problem is that he uses Windows. XP I believe and I'm using a Mac.

So put simply, when I go to erase/re-format it, what is the recommended file format to pick so that the USB flash drive can safely go between Windows and Mac OS's respectively.

Obviously, I know not to choose Mac OS extended and all the other formats that are 'Mac OS.' So I've taken that out of the equation for a start.

So, any input on choosing the right file formats between Mac and Windows in order for the USB flash drive to be universally used would be grate to know.

Thanks much

Daniel
