i have the regular macbook that i got in 2008 and now i have a macbook pro. i've never purchased a firewire and want to buy the correct one.|||Likely a Firewire 400 to Firewire 800 cable if that's a new Macbook Pro.
And since when are Firewire cables expensive? You can get them less than $10 shipped online. Also, Firewire = very, very easy migration of her entire setup from the old to the new. Music, movies, data, applications, settings, the works.|||You don't really need an expensive firewire cable to transfer your music from one mac to another.
Depending on how much music you have, you can simply use a large enough USB flash drive or an external hard drive to transfer the music files over.
Another method is to simply back up all your music to CDs or DVDs and then copy them back to the new Mac. This method provides you with a physical back up of your music in case something happens in the process.
If both Macs are on the same network, you can simply 'share' the folder and access them from the new mac. If you don't have them on the network, you can also use a very cheap method of connecting the 2 macs together via ethernet cable and transfer the files across without the intermediate USB flash drive or CD/DVD.

Good luck and I hope this helps.
