"Playing Audio CDs on the big black box"

Started copying some music onto my XBOX. How the HELL do you fast forward tracks? All I can do is skip to the next one, which is pants. Is there a way? I've tried all the buttons.

I was told an hour by Microsoft - but you all know how clever those guys are.

How long do you need to leave an XBox unplugged for the clock to reset?!?! Mine's lasted well over 3 hours and still not reset.

Inline release thing is excellent. It is possible to knock an Xbox off a table or something. One feature I am very happy with.

However you are right about a battery. Plus it would be a rechargeable so it would last indefinitely.

Also wanted is for the wee green bit on top to light up.

There's a new application coming out to buy later this year for Xbox, similar to Dance eJay and stuff, but it is supposed to use the same as Windows Media player to download cd album details.
