"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.

yeah I thought of that, I suppose the thing I was getting at was how could such a great machine be missing such a normal everyday function.

*shakes fist at microsoft logo*

I want to fast forward some tracks because Burnout 2 always cuts them off before you get to the good part. Bat Out of Hell takes an age to get going.

yes, but I don't want rubbish tracks playing while I'm playing gotham racing. I'll give that a try anyway, cheers

First I think you'd just hold down A when on the skip track button but i dunno. And number two why do you wanna not copy em? The x-box has a huge hardrive, it's not like it's gonna fill it up, my brother had loads of the same tracks on it.

You only have to press X then Y once, doing it three time would be activating it, de-activating it and then re-activating it again, TGMBloke.

already knew that - I must say the visual candy isn't anywhere near as good as some I have on the PC (winamp for example)

I have several new dance CD's that i thought would go well with Project Gotham, but half the tracks are pants, so I want to fast forward to see if they are any good before I copy them.

Not something I've tried, but I just did try it and you're right - tried everything on the pad, all the on screen display buttons, and the DVD handset- you can only skip tracks, not fast forward.

Why do you want to fast forward though ?
