How would such a flip affect magnetic media (or everything electric for that matter)?
It wouldn't. The only thing it effect is where the needle points on your compass and the direction grains solidify in rock as it cools from magma :)
I do wonder what would happen with respect to protection from the solar wind? And I wonder how long it would take to flip? If a day or two, probably minimal effects? But if it took 10,000 years?

Read about it a long time ago, I think at times there was frequent oscillation for maybe up to 100,000 years before the definitive flip. So I was wondering about the 3-finger rule of electric motors.
