OK after upgrading to XP I discovered that Nero was buggered so I've been using Media Player to write music CDs, which hardly ever works and when it does writes very slowly. Also my CD-RW drive only works with a specific type of Memorex CD-R and won't work with anything else.

I have a laptop that has a CDRW drive and works fine at burning music and so I was wondering if you guys know a way I can connect my laptop to my PC and send all my mp3s down onto my laptop for burning?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check on the back of your pc near the mouse, keyboard port to see if there is a network port there...

Not really the answer to how to transfer files, but - try upgrading to the latest version of Nero which can be downloaded from www.nero.com and you *might* need to update the inbuilt "drivers" on your CDRW to fix that only writing to one type of disc problem.

I got a Special Reserve PC with a combo CDRW/DVD drive and it refused to burn to CDRWs (could do CDRs OK) without flashing the drive to the latest version, so that might help.

Network them. I'm guessing your laptop has a network port, you may need to buy a network card for your PC and some crossover cable, but it won't come to more than ten to fifteen quid.

Lots of ways...

Email them to yourself and download them onto your Laptop, only if you have broadband.

Just write them all slowly to a CD and copy them to your laptop.

Link the two things together with, in the words of ftozzi, '2 network cards and a load of wire.'

You pick.
