Can I listen to MP3-songs while playing Xbox game?

[WolfofRuin]

i've dled two programs that are suppose to create soundtracks but i get fatal error messages with both. how are m$ soundtracks saved? how are they saved? and can i just make 1 using a ftp program and correct file formats? i think i'm missing a dat file? st.db...only have music directory

i know its not xbmc related but i have just got burnout 3 and its fantastic.

all i would like would be to add my own music instead of the ea games trax, does anyone have any idea how i could do this or if you could point me in the direction of people that would know.

thanks

this is done using the microsoft dashboard. all necessary documentation should be in your xbox manual, the procedure: rip audiocd's to the xbox harddrive

thanks for the reply although, you may have misunderstood.

with ea games trax, your unable to use ripped music from your hd like most games. it has its own list of music already, i just wondered if this could be edited using ftp to change the music files.

thanks

first, your music needs to be in wma format. second, your music needs to be installed in the xbox's music database. there are some software you can use to inject tracks into the music database but i dont remember their names offhand. look around xbox-scene.com.

once you have your music in the xbox music database, xbmc can access it using the soundtrack bookmark in xboxmediacenter.xml.

i already explained how to do this before and don't feel like doing it again, will see if i can find the old thread and merge the topics.
(basicly you need a third-party homemade software on you pc that converts mp3's to wma and copies+update to the ms database)

edit: i could not find the old thread, but one of the tools is called "soundtrack editor", you can download it from xbox-scene.com

note! this has nothing to do with xbmc, once you start a game (or are other xbox application) all xbmc functions are 'gone', period!

1) yes, burnout is great.
2) i've noticed that the xbox sountrack editor does not work
with xbmc. it connects fine to avalaunch, but repeatedly fails to connect to xbmc.

yes, it works with evolutionx too, (but not with xbmp/xbmc), it's because xbmc uses different ftp addressing ("e:\" vs. "e/" )

1. the wmv files are saved in e/tdata/fffe0000/music
2. yes you have to edit a db file to get files you add to show up on the ms dash/games

3. why don't you ask the author of the app why you get the error (we can't help there... you didn't say whats the name of the app)
