DAMN YOU BILL

OK so I've picked up a 360 (JPN) and I want to get my MP3s onto it. As my manual is all in Japanese (and my comprehension isn't great) I've got no idea how to transfer my music across.

The tools I have: Apple Mac, iPod, USB Camera with 2GB memory stick.

-I've tried LANing the Mac and the 360 together, doesn't work, so I doubt Bill wanted that to happen.
-My iPod just has firewire so I can't plug that in (do I need a USB cable?)
-My Camera connects fine and I can play music from the memory stick but I can't copy anything across.

So, what's the simplest solution to getting my music across?

Cheers GAF

You have to rip CDs to the HD. That is the only way to get music onto it from what I understand.

Wow, really? I already wasted a day of my life doing that with my Xbox, not going to do that again!

You can stream music from your mac dude.

I'm no expert though. I have a Windows PC. There was a thread here on that product though.

If you're connected to LIVE then most music will name itself, which combined with the faster drive, saves alot of time over the Xbox

Xbox took 20-25 minutes to rip a CD?

360 takes 3-4 minutes and every track will have their name on it.

Can the 360 rip burned/custom CDs?

if you put in mixed cd's they won't name themselves. but if you burn full albums it should name itself.

All it does is hit up the CDDA database.

Sorry to thread hijack, but I have a similar question as well. I have my 360 and PC connected. Can I stream iTunes over it and if so, how? Thanks in advance.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

iTunes is an application that plays mp3s, CDs etc.. Not sure why you'd want to stream that.

 

[Birbo]

Well, I have a fair amount of music stored in my iTunes. Is it possible to streak any internet radio stations?

You can stream radio with a Media Center PC, but it's al;so possible to haxor a radio station into a playlist and do it that way with just media connect. It's been mentioned on here before so a search should find it.

 

[AndriaSang]

As a side note, is there any technical reason why the 360 can't stream videos off a standard Windows XP PC. Or is this just Microsoft trying to sell more Media Center PCs?

I'd even be happy with just transfering the files over to the 360 hard drive before playback.

Codecs, codecs, codecs and $$$

Playing a sub set of a user's total video content is almost more frustrating than not being able to play any of it.


XBMC is where it'll be at for quite some time.
