What are you using to access the music? iTunes? Windows Media Player? Something else?

If you're using iTunes, it has a sharing function. From computer A, you just tell it to share the library and you'll be able to access it from an installation of itunes from computer B. More detailed help is readily available via google on that.

If no iTunes, just share the folder with the music in it. It's easiest if you make sure the login info for both computers matches. Then just right click the folder and click "share..."

From there, the best thing to do is to "map a network drive" on computer B:

1) open your start menu on computer B and type "run" in the seach box
2) type \\[computer A's name or ip address]
3) you should see a window with the folder you shared.
4) right click and select "map network drive..."
5) pick a drive letter (doesn't matter which) and make sure "reconnect at logon" is selected.

Voila, now the music folder will be mapped to that drive and you can access it just like a local drive.
