Transferring music from desktop to laptop

Geeno · 12-07-2007, 09:48 PM

What's the easiest method?

Just wondering. It'd be nice if I could have all that shit as portable as possible.

Connect them to the same LAN.

When I had to do that, I installed and ran a program called 'beinsync'

it's freeware to try or whatever from download.com and worked for what i needed it for.

Awesome. I could make use of an app like this.

Geeno · 12-07-2007, 10:29 PM

Yeah, I mean I have a router and all that but I don't have my computers networked.

Also my laptop runs Vista, and desktop XP. Thanks for the tips though, Ill look into that program.

couldnt you just connect a usb cable between the two? or something similar to that?

Captain Cannabis · 12-07-2007, 10:38 PM

usb cable won't work

network your computers and go through the router

its a bit of a pain inthe ass

mj23 · 12-07-2007, 11:14 PM

external hard drive

put files on the drive then transfer the files to the other comp

thats how i would do it

Captain Cannabis · 12-07-2007, 11:22 PM

my external hard drive is wired to my network so i didn't think of that

wellfleation · 12-08-2007, 07:04 PM

This is a no brainer really

Captain Cannabis · 12-09-2007, 06:18 PM

thanks for your informative input wellf

put the folder into your ipod by either itunes or just putting it straight on. If you do it through itunes download idump and dump the songs on your other computer

anonymous49 · 12-10-2007, 08:38 PM

external or ipod.

Krunk · 12-10-2007, 09:03 PM

Yeah, I'd put it all on an ipod, then rip it off of it with iDump.

Geeno · 12-10-2007, 11:46 PM

I used an ipod for something like this once, and it changed the names of all my files to

JKHK
DPOI
ELWL
DPWD

and so on, but I dont think I had good software on my side.

Thanks for the suggestions. Who will loan their iPod or external hard drive?

Captain Cannabis · 12-11-2007, 09:58 AM

yeah the ipod backup program does that, but better (still free) ones work correctly now and keep the names/id3 tags intact

anonymous49 · 12-11-2007, 02:42 PM

go into my computer and locate the ipod then put the music directly on the ipod without using itunes. this way it acts just like an external and no need to fuck around with programs
