Managing music on my 360

(1/4) > >>

Johnny C:
So I've got a portable USB drive, and an Xbox 360, but the Xbox refuses to help me put my music files onto the console. I feel silly starting a thread for this one question but if anyone knows what to do that would help hugely.

KvP:
The only way I know how to put music directly onto the hard drive is by using a regular music CD. Mp3 CDs don't work (at least my first-run 360 doesn't, don't know about newer models) I doubt a USB drive would work either. Sorry.

If you're using a wireless internet connection, you can use Orb, which I use. It allows you to access your PC's library of music from anywhere else, so long as the PC's on. It can't make playlists for the 360 (actually, I don't know how to make 360 playlists at all. halp?) but it's still pretty useful.

Dimmukane:
To your considerable dismay, you can only copy music from CDs.  Which is dick, but you deal with it.  And I think there's actually a limit to how long you can make the playlists, anyways.  I tried to play all the Acid Mother's Temple songs I had and it wouldn't let me, which leads me to believe that number is in the realm of 256.

Johnny C:
One hundred in-game, according to Microsoft.

Kind of ridiculous that I have to plug in my USB stick every time I want to listen to some non-shitty tunes in Crackdown but I guess I'll live.

Scandanavian War Machine:
whatever you do, don't plug an iPod into your 360.

yeah, it works but one time instead of working it's just gonna brick your iPod. happened to me; it could happen to you.
