Default Quickest way

If the two are networked then just copy the files at directory level from the desktop machine to the laptop, if not burn them to CD and copy them into the My Music folder on the laptop. The only problem might be if they are tracks that have been captured from CD (there may be Digital Rights Management Issues)

Crossover network cable assuming you have a network card in both machines (Your Inspiron 6000 has one for sure)
Otherwise,I have a little device that allows you to connect a laptop hard disk into a desktop system (You'll need to remove the hard disk from the laptop temporarily though - One screw holding it in)
