I just bought a Halo Edition Xbox 360, and I have a question about transferring music.

I have a portable hard drive with some music on it, and I can get the console to stream the music, but I want to copy my music to the consoles hard drive. Anyone know how i can do this?

Due to Microsoft not wanting to get into the middle of the whole anti-pirating music thing going on lately you cannot copy any mp3's or the like to your hard drive. you can rip cds to the hard drive, so if you burn the music you want onto a cd using the .cda or .wav format you can proceed to rip them to your hard drive. Otherwise your SOL.

im pretty sure it has to be on a cd or dvd to be able to copy on to your harddrive.

just stream it from your computer if it is hooked up to that......

You can also just burn any mp3's to any blank cd and the 360 will rip it to the HDD. With cd-r media at like 10 cents a piece its not that big of deal, never was to me anyway.

Ok, one guy says you can only do wav files, and the other guy says you can do mp3s too. Which one is correct...never tried myself, i just use tversity. Although streaming from tversity sux when you have thousands of songs.
