I actually had to do #10 a while back. It was a tight fit but it did the trick. It's really a pretty stupid design flaw.

I also did the #10 trick. Thank goodness to whoever originally found that one out. Boo Microsoft.

Not a secret as such, but Microsoft doesn't exactly shout about the fact it plays nice with a device made by uber-rival Apple. Hidden in the depths of the Marketplace, you'll find a teeny download called 'optional iPod support'. Once you've grabbed that, plug in your iPod (iPhones aren't supported yet, sadly) and head to the Media Blade. You'll see your pod appear there, and can now browse its music by album, artist, genre or whatever. It'll also charge via the USB port, usefully.
I must be an absolute moron because I cannot find this download anywhere.

Any help out there?

Just plug your IPOD into the USB port on your 360 then go to the MY XBOX-MY MUSIC and it should automatically detect your IPOD and your IPOD name should show up. That's how I did it and everything worked perfect.

I've got No. 5 to work with a Netgear wireless bridge that I bought on Overstock for about $25.

Thanks wayne...I will give this a shot when I get home.
My wife has been asking if this is possible for like two weeks now so she can play some Christmas music.

I tried this and it won't play any of the songs I purchased from itunes. It only plays certain songs but neglects others. It is very annoying.
