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 ![]() Last edited by Clark Gilbert : 07-06-2003 at 13:41. |

"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). |

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.

Well - just label everything yours and say he can't touch...
Have you 2 ever confused any of your parents before? (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. |

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.

or you can do something even cheaper. you get like 3 cds together and you put all your mp3's there and copy the cds to ure hd using WMP9 (Windows Media Player 9). no money to spend at all and if you want you can use the cds in ure car system. so it all works out. if your use an apple type system the same method should be the same |
