HtownBillsFan Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 between my wife and I, we have four computers. What I want to do is hook one of our laptops up to our stereo system and play the music from the computer. One of my other computers has thousands of songs on it and I want to transfer them on to the laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILLIS Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Why yes I do, put them all in mp3 format and burn then transfer? 91707[/snapback] no don't do that. you want to create a "data disc" which is similr to a floppy disc but it is a cd and it has a much larger storage capacity. After you format the disc into a data disc you can throw on all the music the disc can hold in a matter of seconds and transfer it over to your other pc. If you can't figure out how to make the data disc using your burning software, let me know what program you use for your burning and also your operating system n i could help yuh out.

WILLIS Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 I use MusicMatch 8.2 91728[/snapback] In the burner plus toolbar menu select options and then in disc type select data disc and then in the options menu again goto project and select data disc again then you should be able to just add ur music data and be on your way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Or you could buy a USB key for about $50 and do it that way. I have a 512 that I got from Best Buy that's lightning fast for such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 i recommend buying a NIC for your computers, a switch, and a big hard drive. install the NIC in all your computers plug them up to the switch create a shared folder on the big hard drive put all your mp3s there then all your computers can access your songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
