When you do that sorta thing all you do is take CPu time away from the game, and thats not such a good idea.

I'm stunned how important this feature is for so many people. Maybe it's because I don't play sports games and similar stuff you'd want your music, but developers spend some cash on making/licensing good game soundtracks, I wouldn't want some out of place music to play while playing something like Oblivion

Its all about Sports games. EA/2K Now have the worst music all that Emo stuff. I mean look at Madden 06's stellar Soundtrack then 07 is all emo/Attempt at calling it rock.

racing/sports games yeah i can see where custom soundtrack would be nice

but for any other game, having your music playing ontop of the sound in the game just detracts fromt he game expirience for me

[QUOTE="Koinuboy"] lol You're kidding right?

Nope. Games on consoles are designed to run as close to the hardware as they can, any variations in this cause issues. Now for the moment there isnt an SDK for develoeprs to allow this sort of stuff to happen but it may be possible in future, but only if the music is played via the OS and not the game. We shall see. No reason tho why a dev cant hack a solution up by themselves. if you **** about it enough itll happen.

It would take a small amount of CPU to pass audio thru to the game. Seeing as how other platforms are able to do it, it makes me wonder how hard it can be to implement it.

wow, not a big deal...how did you cope all those years before xbox created that feature? i like the music the developers choose anyway, like in motorstorm...they usually chose what is right and what fits.

Turn off the ingame music, turn up your stereo playing your songs: there you go! I also don't quite understand why this feature is so important to many people or at least why so many are whining about it.
