A friend of mine has a band and I was helping out with sound tech at a recent concert. The sound engineer told us that if we provided a thumb drive, he would record the concert from the mixing board for us so we could use it in the future. I bought a standard thumb drive at Best Buy before the show and handed it to him. Only later did I realize that there could be infection potential by having it plugged into his machine and then plugging it into one of ours.

I have no idea if I’m being overly cautious here. If not, how would you all recommend safely getting the sound file off of the drive?
