Is there any way to do this through an ipod?
Aug 1, 2011. 6:51 PMboycey1979 says:
yeah connect your ipod through your usb cable

yes, you plug the usb cable from your ipod to the 360 and press the xbox menu button and got to music press select music then press portable device and choose the song! :)

There is a program called switch file sound converter it's a free trial but you can downgrade via uninstall and you can convert music files try that and make sure you properaly format your burnted disks

Sep 9, 2010. 3:59 PMTOMNDAN says:
but you can clear system cache to remove all updates to see if it works because i had to do it with mine

I figured it out, I had to convert them to unprotected AAC in itunes

Only problem with that is, it won't let you put the songs onto the xbox hardrive.

The instructable should have been on how to do this with an iPod because most people have an iPod instead of having a million Compact Discs.

or just get a ps3 and use a flash drive and import it into the music folder

Yea, the problem with burnt CD's is that the xbox won't read the files correctly. If you have a normal CD of a band, the xbox will rip the CD just fine.

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

 actually for burned cds burn them at the slowest speed possible i use x2 and it works fine
Mar 16, 2010. 1:17 PMGage987 says:
now i just need a cd to hold 10 gigs
Sep 30, 2009. 9:13 AMChosenWon says:
This rarely works. Out of 12 songs I had on a burned CD it ripped 2 successfully.
Sep 7, 2009. 2:23 PMtavetski2701 says:
Sadly, i feel the sound quality from a ripped cd that is then ripped into the xbox, is jus so incredibly lossy, that i'd rather listsen to the game's own music... Now has anyone figured out how to attach the xbox hard-drive to a normal pc, and then transfer their entire collection over? that would be awsome Nice instructible tho:)
