Oh poo.
I've just found out that the XBox doesn't recognise CD-R's when you try to rip music to the HDD.
It comes up with an error basically saying that the XBox doesn't recognise the disc, it's either dirty scratched or wrong format etc.
I'd wondered if they were going to do something like this - to help stop music piracy.
And they have, damn them!
Thought I'd let you lot know, in case you (like me) were planning on burning the MP3's that are on your PC's HDD onto CD to put them on the XBox's HDD. You can't do it.

Some CD-Rs work. Try using a CD-RW, in most cases they work. Just rip a music CD to a CD-RW takes a few mintues. Rip that CD-RW to your Xbox. And if you want tons of music, while that CD-RW is ripping, copy another CD-RW. And just swap between the 2.
sorry i mean CD-Rs
chipping a 300 quid machine and invalidating all the warranty just cos he can't play ripped music...doubt it!
Chip my XBox?
No fear!
There's no way I'd do that, I'd probably break the damn thing! :-D

Yeah, they said in XGamer #1 that CD-Rs wouldn't be recognised by the Xbox.
