Listen to music stored on home laptop from work

michaelduignan · 2012-07-03 10:45:58

Hi, I have well over 20Gb worth of music stored in my itunes on my personal laptop. I'd like to listen to this music while at work from another laptop. Is it possible to remote access your music from work? Would the home computer need to be on? Can dropbox be used to store the music? What other options is there? Thanks

Transfer/Copy the music to a portable HDD or a 32gb thumb drive and carry it to work.

You could setup a Virtual Private Network (vpn) with your home laptop & mobile device with relative ease & stream it through that? But that means leaving your computer at home on as well as your internet router.
Another similar option is to setup a VPN with your home network & connect an external harddrive to the router if you want to save your electricity bill?
