In truth... no.
At least, not in the original Xbox.
Sure you can record CDs to use as soundtracks, but then it takes hours to name them using the on-screen keyboard if you want to know what they are at a later date.
I recorded about 3 albums and that was it. Deleted them soon after.
I suppose it comes in handy for downloading additional content, but as I never bothered with Live it was irrelevant. Are there many games which have supported downloadable content? I genuinely don't know - the only one I can think of is Splinter Cell, but then I've not bought many games for mine.

Yeah, great news!

Now out of interest, other than saving games and music, does the hardrive have much use?
