You can buy a SDD and a USB enclosure, it is no different than a disk based drive in that regard. It is just more expensive per GB, the only advantage for in car use though is that car vibration will not affect the drive, but as a media storage it is kind of wasted due to the price difference and the high performance of a SSD will be of no benefit.

Also i dont see the need for that much storage, a 32Gb or 64Gb usb key should cost around $40 and give you more music storage than you'd (legally) need. Also a lot smaller and easier to carry around.
