Here is what I would do. Get an external HD like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Portable-External-STEA1000400/dp/B00TKFEEAS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1480514512&sr=1-1&keywords=external+hard+drives

Plug the HD into your old computer and copy all of your songs to it. Then plug the HD into your new computer and copy all of the songs on to it. Now you have three copies of your songs, one on each computer and a backup on the external. Store the external on a shelf or better yet off premises.

She said she can't remember what she ever saw in me!
