did any 1 know u could play mp3 music on xbox i didn't know..well if u do heres to refresh memory if u don't here it is...


Burn music onto a CD-RW (not a CD-R) disc, and close the session when you burn the CD. Place it in your X-Box and rip it. Note: This also works with .MP3 files. The Xbox can store .MP3s and replay them later and saves a lot of space when compared to the .WAV files that are standard on audio discs.

I thought the XBox ripped audio cd's as WMA files, which in fact is smaller then mp3?

wma files are basically wav files i thought only used by windows media player, with a large files size when compred to mp3s. I just thought the xbox ripped the soundtracks tracks onto the hd as mp3s.

The xbox cannot read MP3s. Do your homework before posting. It rips wavs or cda to a modified wma format. It can't handle mp3s ....... yet;)

WMA is smaller than MP3 I believe.
