I found a USB Flash Drive with nothing but MP3s on it. Any ideas on how to figure out who originally owned it?

Where did you find it?
Do you have a group of suspect owners?
What language are the songs?
What MP3s are they?
Any special interest MP3s or just mainstream stuff?
What brand and model of flash drive?
You can put up a flier where you found the drive. Have the owner call you and respond to questions about the item.

It's in a room that approximately 150 people frequent, the songs are all English and mainstream music (I estimate more likely to be a female's though). Same model flashdrive, Cruzer mini 512 MB that everyone has around here (dorm environment).

It should be the geekiest girl in the dorm. Ask her out.

The Godfather has the right idea. Put up a sign in that room that says you found someone's flash drive, and put your phone number on the poster. When you get a call, ask some simple questions to make sure you're actually talking to the legit owner, and if so, arrange to meet somewhere to give it back to her.

Then, your pants should accidently fall down, and if she looks at you funny you could say that they are trick pants that clowns wear.

This is why I put a file in the root of my flash drives called "Owner Information." Someone who finds it and looks at it cannot help but see that file and either contact me to return it, or have no excuse not to. It combines a carrot and a stick, so to speak.
