I have a home computer along with a laptop. What I would like to do is have my music files sitting on my home network, so I can access the files from both computers at the same time. How would I do this? Thanks

If I understand your question correctly you're looking for something similar to a cloud and windows offers this feature assuming that you have windows. It's called Home Group and it allows you to share files between devices. To access this feature go to Control Panel>Network and Internet>Home Group from there you will have to configure your settings.
1 click Start > Run, type control folders, and press enter
2 click the View tab, and scroll down to the bottom of the list box
3 place a check next to use simple file sharing and then click OK
4 open My Computer and browse to a folder you want to share
5 right-click the folder and choose sharing and security
6 click the warning text ("If you understand the security risks...") then click Just enable file sharing
7 check Share this folder on the network and give your share a name (it doesn't have to match the folder name)
8if you want to allow others to edit, delete, and add new files, check the Allow box as well
click OK, and you're done!
