the answer is obvious it is not possible(it is in case of windows and linux)
but this is not in case of mac os x ...we can move it...why is it so?
this is my question....
.whether it is because of links between files is arranged using hardlinks,softlinks and alias ...i think so

    In windows we can move audio files when they are being played may be because audio files are small and get quickly loaded into the memory buffer.
    In case of movies it is not so because movie files are huge in size and only parts of it are loaded into the memory buffer.

    I guess in Mac the OS first copies the file into the pendrive and deletes the files as soon as the playback is over.
