if you have no idea what you are doing, just go to the store and buy a 4gb thumb drive. They are cheap. 2 runs of copy/paste and you are finished. ---

Do I need to know anything before I buy one? (Me buying computer stuff is like sending my sister to the junkyard to pull a tranny.) ---

Thumb drive is the way to go, unless you have an Ipod or a large MP3 player that you could load them onto then pull them off of. ---

make the current computer a webhost using apache and php (version 5 prefered). install websoftware to give you online FTP capabilities… connect from the other computer that you want the music to be on to the webhost computer and just click all the files 🙂 or stream from one computer to the other live and use a live stream recording program. Or just put them on a thumbdrive… and make a few passes at it… ---

Being that the OP seems to be a pig fucking redneck… I suggest hiring a band to tab out all the music and play it live acoustically (its probably already country anyway). If its disturbed, nickelback and other ass fucking terrible white trash music, just delete it and grow a better musical taste ---
