It depends. What format are your music files in? If they are in the windows media WMA format, then it's not very easy, because I do not believe that the media player that comes with DSL supports WMA files.
However, if your files are in MP3, OGG, or other common formats, then listen up.
What you want to do is go into your EMLFM program on your DSL desktop. On the right hand side panel is a listing of files in the root directory of linux. Now, look for a little folder labled MNT. Double click on it. It should open up that folder, and you will now see a different list in that pane. Now, your hard drives partitions should be shown there. Depending on what type of hard drive you have, the hard drives name will vary. So look for either HDA1, or (I think) SDA1. This is most probably where your files are stored. But, some of this stuff can vary depending on your systems hardware and hard drive configuration. Anyway, right click on it (you may have to left click on it first), and a little menu should pop up. Go down to the option that says "Mount", and left click on it.
You should now be in your hard drive. If you store your music under "My Documents/My Music", then you should just be able to simply double click on the appropriate folders, and find your music.
But, like I said before, if you have WMA files, then I do not believe that the included media player will play those music files natively. Mp3 and Ogg should be fine though.
I hope you find this useful. Linux Gurus, please feel free to correct any of my incorrect terminology, or misinformation if I have posted any.
EDIT: Oh! I forgot! You still have to open up the files! DOH! So... basically, you can do the above to see if you have found where your files are (and have the hard drive mounted. That's important!), and then open up your media player program (the penguin wearing headphones if I recall correctly), and then to load up files, there should be a button that either looks like an eject button or says files or something, and that should bring up your file loading window. Then, you navigate your way through the folders very much like you did in the file manager, and find the desired file.
Sorry if some of this is kind of vague. I am posting from windows, as I do not yet have internet on Linux. Otherwise, I could go and give you exact button labels and such.
Good Luck.
EDIT (Again):
Okay, if you do have WMA files, then there seem to be some threads in this section of the forum pertaining to those as well for when you gain access to your files.
