A while back quite a few of you wanted me to check and see if CD/RW's work in your Xbox, well the result is they do. After trying CD/R's and them not working I have just tries a CD/RW with 4 tracks on it and it has worked fine. I hope this has cleared a few things up for you guys!

Well apparently CD's written at high speed dont work on the XBox, but ones written at a lower speed do. I havent tested it out so I dont know, I just heard it from other people.

I'll give it a bash tonight with an RW disc. Then we'll see if there is an issue with how many tracks are on a disc etc...

What on earth has the burning speed got anything to do with it?!!!!
I have never heard anything about burn speed altering the properties of a disc.
I was wondering about CD-RW though as they are supposed to be similar to ordinary discs.
The only thing I actually want it for is to take MP3's from my PC to the Xbox for soudtracks.

I have never heard anything about burn speed altering the properties of a disc.
I was wondering about CD-RW though as they are supposed to be similar to ordinary discs.
The only thing I actually want it for is to take MP3's from my PC to the Xbox for soudtracks.
any concrete news on this? so cdrw do work def?
And CDRs do work. I've heard that you need to burn the CD's at a low speed for the Xbox to be able to detect the CDR or CD/RW.
