Transferring files from Mac to PC

Is the easiest way just to buy a USB flash drive and load everything on there?

I only have a couple hundred mb's of docs, excel sheets, ppt, etc. The majority of my files is itunes music. Can I copy those onto a flash drive and transfer them onto the PC? Are there any issues with DRM, album artwork, etc.?

Thanks.

For transferring excel/word document type things a flash drive is a pretty quick solution

If you are trying to transfer a lot of iTunes music, a couple gig or so, then u may want to look into getting an external hard drive, most arent too expensive and you can load a whole iTunes library onto it for transfer

If you are patient and have a network/router where both computers are hooked up you can use file sharing to access the files off the mac from the pc and manually choose which ones to copy over the network

I have 4gb of music files. I can buy a 8gb flash drive for $14 on amazon, that seems like the easiest thing to do unless I am missing something?

For such a small amount of data, I'd agree just using a large thumb drive or external USB hard drive will be the fastest and least painful.
