My brother wants to know how to put music on his 360, all I can find in the manual is about streaming but not putting it on the hdd. How can he do this?

Think you can just rip it from CD

you can run it from a share via windows media connect

If you want it actually on the HDD then the only way is by putting an audio CD in and ripping it to the HDD, it cant be an Mp3 disc either by the way (as far as I know anyway!)

If it's like the original Xbox then you can create a CDRW audio disc and the console will read it okay.

That sucks, why dont they just let you do it by usb or ethernet? Instead of making you burn all your music to cd which wastes loads of cds since you cant even make mp3 ones and takes ages. I bet sony dont do this to us with their ps3.

Another measure to prevent music sharing

But you can just download music and burn it to cd, so they kind of did it for nothing.

The 360 isnt very fussy about discs, so you can just use a normal CD-R if you dont have a Re-Writable.

Yes, but it would be a real hassle and very time consuming to transfer a large number of mp3s in this way

It doesn't waste CDs if you use a CDRW

And it is simple enough to create an audio CD from mp3s using Nero or whatever.

Indeed, I bet they don't.
However, I mean it in a different way to you.
