Right, I know the only way to get MP3s onto the 360 (by normal means) is to rip them from a CD directly.

Once you've done that, can you edit the MP3 IDs in order to get the track names, artist and album right? The CDs I'll be ripping will be my own homemade mixed ones rather than retail ones.

Cheeky! It doesn't mean I've downloaded them illegally. I've burnt them from iTunes.

Why not stream them from your PC?

Well, it's a laptop. I don't want to leave it running all the time just when I fancy putting some music on. Besides, I have to fill up this new 120GB hard drive somehow... :D
 
A Sony one which will not work, I'm sure! ;)

I suppose I could plug in my external HDD with some music on but will have to format it all again back to FAT32.
 
I do have a drive but it's in NTFS at the moment. I don't think there are filesizes of 4GB+ on it, so I can always copy the contents to the PC, wipe it and then copy things back again.

32GB partition limit too. (unless you use a 3rd party app to do the partition/format)

The Western Digital software will take care of that. A flash drive is out of the question - I've got about 36GB of music data. Cripes. Imagine how long it would take to burn those to CD and then rip again. External HDD it will have to be.
 
To be honest, I don't think the concerns about FAT32 will be a concern here. The drive is only going to be used as a write once, read many type of device. One all the files are copied on, that's it. There won't be any fragmentation or anything like that. The 360 can't write to the drive either.
 
Thanks for the info. Now why couldn't they [MS] let the 360 read NTFS. It's their filesystem for Pete's sake! It would all be a lot easier.
