How to Send My Music to Another Computer
When working on your home computer network, you may have music on one computer that you would like to listen to on another. It is possible to copy music from one computer on your local area network (LAN) to another through Microsoft Windows. Each computer on a network is designated by a "name." Using this name, you can transfer your music to a specific computer on your network. Once this is done, the music will be available on both computers and can be played at any time.
