Shouldnt be.

Try removing all the shared folders in Media Connect, and just add a single folder that has an album in. Double check that the 360 is 'allowed'.

If that doesnt work then the only thing I can think of is the tags on the file as media sharing can be a bit funny for this. Make sure it has proper tags.

ok will try though ive got 25 gig of music they cant all be bad and also it doesnt pick up any folders or anything

Also try sharing a folder with a few pictures in, see if you can access that on the 360.

Pretty sure everything has to be catalogued in Windows Media Player for it to be picked up. I remember having to do that.

I havn't even touched WMP and mine works fine, unless it does something in the background.

I know with Vista you HAVE to use WMP11 to get streaming working, but I dont think thats the case here.

Hmmm, could have been unrelated, then. I spit on WMP anyway

Try getting rid of Media Connect, then putting it back in.

I'm not going to be much help, tbh, as I have everything running hunkey-dorey on my Mac
