I'd like to copy my entire Music folder on my Linux computer over to my new Windows laptop... does anyone know of a simple way to do this, besides a flash drive?
Thank you

Network? Portable HDD?
This is a signature. It is original.
Mount or smbclient into a windows share from the Linux machine, and copy. You may need to make a registry edit*, I had to do so on my W7 box. But you would be better served posting in another forum...
*Windows kept dropping the connection. The registry setting was something to do with having Windows act as a file server, but I don't remember exactly what it was.

How big is the Music folder in question?
Generally, if it were me moving the file, I would use Drop Box if it were under 2gb, a DVD if it were under 4gb, my 8gb usb stick, it if were under 8gb.
If it were bigger, I'd be looking at network, or portable hard drive, but others have beat me to suggesting those.
