hello,
work in this field, I would like to remind users gnu linux is not a consumer OS! it is used in specialized areas of computing i.e. supercomputers, enterprise, certain areas of software development, networking and storage management (servers).
there are reasons for this which can be loosely categorized by 'externally' and 'internally'. externally, gnu machines are easier to maintain, cheaper and more reliable. internally, the l-kernel itself responds and is better suited to the tasks I previously mentioned.
notice that these tasks listed are generally not consumer oriented! linux is taking great steps and leaps (I can list these) in trying to penetrate that market but as of today and tomorrow won't be a consumer OS (I can also list reasons as to why but will spare the details). If you are interested in this type OS, I recommend xnu.
maybe in the next 10-15 years!!

>easiest way
That all depends.
Are you talking about graphical way?
Open Dolphin
Split window into two panes
in the address bar of the second pane type "fish://USER@COMPUTER NAME"
drag and drop music folder from desktop pane to laptop pane.
That or scp.
scp -r [email protected]:/path/to/foo /home/user/laptop/music

I use Filezilla, but this guy has the right idea.

Grab your latest backup of the Desktop, plug that external drive into the laptop, and restore just the music folder.
