I am trying to put music from my computer onto a hard drive then put it into my Xbox 360's hard drive. I have all the files I want on the hard drive and when I plug it into the Xbox, the console recognizes it. I create a playlist with the songs that I want and the songs play without a problem. I choose the option 'Edit or Save Playlist' and a new screen appears. When I choose the option 'Save Playlist', a message appears saying something like, Saved playlists can only contain songs from the hard drive. That is exactly what I am trying to accomplish, getting the songs on the hard drive. Is there something obvious that I am missing? Please help me get the songs onto my 360's hard drive. Thank you.
if you have a wireless network at home and your 360 runs on it you can setup a connection with your pc to send pic music and vid files to your 360 go into the media section on the dashboard and it explains it all, any files you want to transfer will have to be in a shared folder
From my link a few posts above this. Only way to save music on your 360 drive is to rip CD. USB devices and streaming does not work.
Note
Playlists
that draw from external devices such as portable audio players and PCs
cannot be saved. You can only save playlists that reference audio files
residing on your Xbox 360 Hard Drive.
The
process of converting tracks from an audio CD to a low-bitrate audio
format and storing them as individual files is known as "ripping." The
Xbox 360 console rips audio tracks to the WMA (Microsoft Windows Media
Audio) format at 192 kbps. Ripping an audio CD with Xbox 360 requires
an Xbox 360 Hard Drive.
Please
note that existing MP3 and WMA audio files cannot be ripped or
otherwise copied to an Xbox 360 Hard Drive, though you can listen to
such files from recordable CDs or DVDs or from a connected storage
device. For more information, see Use a Portable Audio Player with Xbox 360.
To rip music from a CD to an Xbox 360 Hard Drive:
- Turn on your Xbox 360 console with no disc in the tray.
- Load an audio CD. The Xbox 360 music player will launch and CD playback will begin.
- Select Rip CD
to view the Rip CD screen. By default, all the tracks on the CD will be
selected. If you do not want to copy all the tracks, manually de-select
the tracks that you do not want to rip.
- When you're ready to generate your audio files, select Rip CD again to begin ripping.
Note
You cannot listen to music while the console is ripping a CD.
The
Xbox 360 console comes preloaded with a database of artist and track
information for thousands of commercial CDs. If your console is
connected to Xbox Live, the system will look online for album info if it does not find it locally.
If
the system cannot recognize your CD, the console will show you the Edit
Album Info screen prior to ripping your disc. Use this screen and your
controller to supply details like Album Name, Artist Name, and Genre.
Tip
You
can enter information using either a USB keyboard plugged into a
controller port or your Xbox 360 controller and the on-screen virtual
keyboard.
To proceed with ripping without entering album information, select Save Changes from the Edit Album Info screen. To cancel a rip in progress, press Back (B) at the Ripping CD screen.
You can also enter track titles while a CD is ripping.
To edit track titles while ripping a CD:
- From the Ripping CD screen, select the track title you want to enter.
- From the Edit Song Info screen, enter the details for Song Name, Artist Name, and Genre.
(If you entered artist name and genre at the Edit Album Info screen,
these fields will be prefilled, but you can also edit them on a
song-by-song basis here.)
Further, you can choose to rip an
unknown CD now (its title will be "Unknown Album <date/time>")
and update its album information later.
To edit album information after a disc has been ripped:
- From the Media area of the Xbox Dashboard, select Music, Hard Drive.
- Under Albums, select the album with the information you want to update.
- Select Edit Album Info, then use your controller to supply Album Name, Artist Name, and Genre. Album names can be up to 39 characters long. When finished, select Save Changes.
To
edit individual song titles, repeat Steps 1 and 2, then select the
track title you wish to change. From the screen for that track, select Edit Song Info to edit the Song Name, Artist Name, or Genre, then select Save Changes.
Like album names, track names can be up to 39 characters long.
