Transferring music to my 360 via flash drive

You can plug it into one of the USB posrts and listen to it, but you can't actually transfer it to the hard drive.

EDIT: a little late on my post :)

So my best bet would be to burn it to a DVD-R and transfer it that way? (You can do that, right?)

And, so I'm not wasting my efforts, this music can be played during gameplay, correct? There are some games with soundtracks that just don't matter, and I plan on replacing them with far superior music (I recall my freshman year roommate doing this for Madden on his Xbox original).

if you have burned cd's it will work too, all the music i have on my hdd is from burned cd'sbigwilk2454

if u burn your legaly backed up cd(yea....) and burn it as a cd that can play as a original cd, then u can copy it to the 360, but u cant just put it onthe cd as a copy data file. if you know what i meenlinkinworm

What he said.

So basically I burn it to regular CD, then I can rip it to my 360 HD? Or am I still missing something here?TheMonthlyDaily

You got it. It has to be a normal audio cd.

You burn it as an audio CD, not as a data CD.

So basically burn it in Windows Media Player (I assume you have the Windows operating system) or your favorite media application, then simply insert it into your Xbox and then it's pretty self explanatory.

I only used cd's with my mp3's recorded as wav format or audio cd which is the same, always work

I don't know if everyone that reads this is only trying to listen to music as they play their game. I came to this thread looking for an answer to my problem. My problem being I got NHL 10 and you can have custom songs playing when your team comes out, after every whistle blow, etc. and the only way to get them on there is to copy songs to the hard drive.

I have to agree though I'm not looking forward to wasting a whole bunch of cd-r's on this. I tried linking my pc to my xbox, putting all my music in my wmp library, and transfer it that way. Didn't work. I tried putting the songs on a flash drive and hooking it up to my xbox to transfer them. Didn't work.

Please if there is an easy way to do it let us know.

Thanks. :)

you can only copy music from an audio CD (not a data cd). You cannot use any USB device for this... kind of sucks.
