As long as you haven't changed any folder or file names or metadata that is
stored in the library, it will be fine. The easiest thing is just to copy
the files and don't worry about the metadata in your files.

If you don't want to overwrite your old metadata, you can use my MetaData
backup program at
http://www.dalepreston.com/Blog/2007...ta-backup.html
to backup your laptop metadata, copy over your media files from the desktop,
and then restore the metadata backup on your laptop again. This will work
with MP3 or WMA files.

If your files are MP3, you might also want to consider backing up your ID3
tags on your laptop using my ID3 Tag Backup program at
http://www.dalepreston.com/Blog/2007...-id3-tags.html and then
moving the files from your desktop to your laptop and then restoring your ID3
tag backups.
