Transferring music files.

[anotheoldgit]

I have a number of music files (MP3s) on my laptop (Vista) which I would like to transfer or copy onto my main computer (XP).

Although these files are listed in My Documents/Music, they don't show up in my Widows Media Player, so that I can move them, copy them or burn them onto a disc.

Can anyonee please explain fully how I can either transfer them to my main computer, copy them or burn them onto a disc.or all three?

Thank you in anticipation (TYIA)

What happens if you connect your laptop to your PC via USB? Have you done that before?

Just copy across with a memory stick.

flobadob Thanks, but no I have never done that before.

AlBags Thanks to you also, yes I know what you mean, but unlike XP with Vista I don't think one can do the same ie. right click / send to / usb.

Also how do I transfer a number at the same time?

You can put your memory stick in, select the files you want to copy, then press CTRL+C to copy them.
Next step is to open your memory stick and press CTRL+V to paste them.

You then do the reverse on the PC you want to copy to.

Don't know if you've sorted it yet. Similar to squarebear said though I would say if you have all your music in one folder eg My Music then RIGHT click on that folder and then LEFT click on the word copy. Then go to your memory stick if that is what you are using and RIGHT click and then LEFT click on the word paste. Then repeat the same thing on the PC.

The reason I asked if you connected your laptop to your PC was so that you could skip using the memory stick and do it directly.
