    Re: burning mp3 to x

    i do this all the time, just use a cd-rw, and rip it and close the disc or disc-at-once and it should work fine

    I've always used a CD-RW to transfer music to my XBox. I think it's a Memorex, but I've used the same one since Nov '01 on launch day.

    Yeah. I burn my with Nero, seems to work fine. I usually load up 10-15 songs and make an audio cd with a formatted CDRW and the XBox sees it just like a retail CD.

    Of course, the title of the this thread is probably causing the confusion. You can't "burn" a "mp3" file the XBox. MP3's have nothing to do with the discussion.

    You can rip music tracks off a music CD (or CDRW) to your XBox hard drive, which are stored as WMA files I believe. But no MP3's (unless you've hacked your XBox).

    I think that means the XBox is having trouble ripping the audio tracks from your CD. Try using a different brand CDR, or use a CDRW...and possibly the program that you used to burn those audio CDR's may have something to do with it.
