A little late, but I'll chime in.

If the other boxes are Windows NT-Era (NT, 2k, XP), you can use Windows
Services For Unix to handle NFS.  It works ok (err after a fashion, but
I haven't had much luck with samba), but it doesn't like to follow mount
points or links, so export the directories individually.

If you set up a network share using either NFS or Samba you won't need
to transfer them back and forth. Just save them in the shared network
drive once and set up all your computers to have access to that drive.
Myth can play MP3s off a shared drive on another machine.
