Moving MP3s to New Computer
Ok, so I'm not a very good network kinda of person so I thought I would post here to see what the best way to transfer my MP3s from my old computer to this new laptop I'm using now. I tried downloading some firewire network program that didnt work at all and I hear that using a cat5 cable (is that right?) between the two is a good method. If this is the best method, do I also need to use an internet connection or just the cable.
Please Help ;) :D |

The information's out there. |
"borrow" an iPod (i'm pretty sure kyle has one, no?), download all the music to there, then put it into the laptop, copy files onto laptop.
done, at no extra expense. if you don't have an iPod (or similar device), then you do need a crossover cable, which is usually sold at computer stores (at very high prices, but it's sold there). |

duhhhh Clark, I told you that before. I mean the iPod is only 10 gigs...jeez What other reason would Kyle buy an iPod besides for you to use and claim as your own? :p ;) |
Do you have a hub clark? Maybe im just dumb, but this is what I do: save all music into the my shared folder, or just share the C drive, then go on the laptop and copy it all to it.

Thanks Jim. I'll look into your suggestions. |
clark, since when did i say you had to be nice to your brother....?
;) |
this is funny..... he always assumes that its both of our iPods but the in reality he didnt pay 1 cent for it.... its 100% mine...heck he's never even used the thing before.....
and now i know why i hate being a twin |
Well - just label everything yours and say he can't touch...
Have you 2 ever confused any of your parents before? :D (sorry - had to ask!) |

Where would your iPOD be if I didn't download all the music for it! HA! Oh well, the iPOD is a bad idea, my brother tried it on his laptop and it seperated them into 20 folders or something name f1-f20 something or other, each folder containing a certain amount of songs...weird.... Oh well. I'll try the crossover cable idea. |

Just do what I did, put the old hardrive in the new computer as a slave and transfer at will!!

Crossover Cable
Crossover cables are just plain cool! Got one where I work (Circuit City), and only paid $1.60 for it (store discount). Even works well for LAN games.

crossover cables are annoying. i hated having to carry one around.
but now my mac autodetects crossover or not, so i don't :D seriously. if you don't have any networking gear in the house, you need to get some. crossover cables are pretty common, and not too expensive. or borrow a hub from a friend. |
Re: Moving MP3s to New Computer
Decided to bring back this thread instead of starting a new one. My external burner just went, and I'm a poor college student, so I need to find a way to get files off of my laptop. I am currently running two networks one wireless and one through a hub (two different locations). I have tried on both to view workgroup computers (all machines running a form of XP), but have failed.
I think I just need help with the software. On the hub network I am running four machines, and some can see others, and some can not. On the wireless network, neither computer can see each other. If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks! |
