I scooped it off Amazon for $9 with shipping and handling. I needed to get this as my xbox is newer (march or April 2005) and is not capable of reading any burned media. I spent about 4 hours trying to get it to work. At first I tried to connect my laptop directly to my xbox, no luck (lost connection to PC). I realized after some reading I needed a crossover cable (system link cable), since I didn't have one I hacked a regular ethernet cable and made it into a crossover cable, still nothing (lost connection to PC). By then I was trying manual IP adresses, DNS and all that other fun stuff. At this point I was ready to give up. I finally decided to do the home network, which I basically already had with my router, thats all a home network is. It was so simple I could have kicked myself. I didn't want to do the home network thing because I was under the impression I would have to fiddle with my router, but I did nothing to it (Linksys WRT54GS ver. 6 with most current firmware, UPnP enabled). Here is what I did......
1)Turned off everything: xbox, laptop, modem, and router.
2)Connected my laptop and xbox to the router via ethernet cables. Wireless will not work, and on a side note you must disable the wireless connection of the computer.
3)Powered up the modem then the router. Then I turned on the computer (network settings on automatic), then the xbox (network settings on automatic). I downloaded the update for the music mixer when I signed into xbox live.
4)That was it. I created the song list to import and presto, it transfered in less than five minutes. After the file tranfer however you must create/convert the tracks in order to use them from the hard drive for other xbox games. That conversion process takes a while, just a long as if you were buring a cd to the xbox.
