"Playin CDR's on your xbox"

Hey

When i put my CDR in the xbox to try and record sum tunes it says..."please insert and xbox disc or dvd or music cd". But sum people are saying that their recorded cds are working fine. What cds work and what doesn't? I really wanna know coz i want my own tunes on the xbox and their all on CDR's.

yeah i heard if you copy it in audio format to a CD-RW it will record it onto your x box.

kinda ok as at least a CD-RW can be used more than once i suppose.

be cool if you could copy mp3's from cd to it.

Well GG Ready for this

Create Your Own Xbox Soundtrack

Graphics, graphics, graphics, that's what's Xbox is all about, right? Not quite! With 256 audio channels, 64 of them in 3D, Dolby Digital 5.1, the Xbox is an amazing audio machine, too. Take advantage of that Xbox sound and cut your own personal gaming soundtrack, right from your own CD collection. Here's the scoop. You did know you can customize some of your games with your personal favorites, didn't you?
Using the Dashboard as a Mixing Board

The key ingredient to creating your own soundtrack is the Audio CD screen under Music on the Xbox Dashboard.

Of course the first thing you have to do is put an audio CD in the Xbox disc tray, otherwise you'll be creating a soundtrack of Marcel Marceau's Greatest Hits.

Now navigate through the Dashboard to Music, then Audio CD, and then Copy. See the Play, Pause, Select, Select All, and Copy buttons at the bottom. The game controller joystick/trigger functions as forward and backward controls.
Copy, copy, copy

Now that you're at the Copy user interface, select the tracks you want to save to a soundtrack. You can play, pause, select, select all, and copy, all from the Dashboard. Use the Play and Pause buttons to help you remember exactly which track you want to record. The Select and Select All buttons mark the tracks that you want to copy. If you want to copy all but one track, you can save time by choosing Select All and then use Select to toggle off the track you don't want.

With your tunes picked out, select the Copy button and the recording begins (at roughly three times the speed of real time—that's a 2:32 track recorded in 46 seconds). Before the Xbox starts copying the tracks to the hard disk you'll be asked if you want to add to an existing soundtrack or create a new one.

That's it! You've created a soundtrack you can listen to while playing games that support the Soundtrack feature. (Yes, pester your favorite game maker to install this feature - it's really easy!)

I've heard the Xbox doesn't play CDrs but DOES accept CDrw's.........

its WMA 128k

Out of interest, does anyone know which format Xbox records music in when you rip a disc? I'm guessing WMA or something similar.

Xbox does read CD-RW if the disk has Audio CD data on it!!!

There's a certain irony in the fact that MS will let you copy music to the HD, but won't let you copy copied music.

I'm sure if you read the copyright notices, it expressly forbids 'any unauthorised copying or transfer to electronic medium' etc.

Xbox won't play CD-Rs or CD-RW.

Most of my music is on MP3 on my PC, and there's no way of getting it onto Xbox.

Xbox ONLY reads DVDs, Xbox games and proper bought CDs.
