    I'm a little confused with turning my computer into a type of Webserver, so that I can access my mp3 folders and other files from other devices, but I don't know which webserver program I should use (Apache was really confusing for me) and I need help from anyone who knows how to do this :)

      If I can do it, you can.

            http://localhost/
            If that works then you're going alright.
            Find the folder:
            C:/Server/Apache 2/Apache2/htdocs
            And put a few files in there. Go to localhost and if you see an index of the files you have done right.

                  Google XAMPP. It's an all-in-one server solution: HTTP (Apache) + FTP (FileZilla) + SQL (MySQL) + PHP + PHP modules (a lot of them) + SMTP (MercuryMail). It really solved my server problem...well, except that my internet cord's cut on the way to the server, but it helped the software side of things at least >_>

                    Personally, I like WAMP.

                    Anyways, get a good (sub)domain name from dyndns.com
