Ipod users: You cannot transfer songs to the XB 360.

You have to burn your CD's

Sadly, it's not possible to rip music from any mp3 player and store it on your hard drive, most likely due to copywrite concerns. If you really want your favorite playlists on your 360 so you can make a few custom soundtracks, simply burn a CD. Just like on the current Xbox, you can rip songs from CDs and play them to your heart's content.

But you can stream from the iPod if it is plugged into the 360.

Re: Ipod users: You cannot transfer songs to the XB 360.

So, can I plug my iPod in, play a game, and select the songs from my iPod?

I'm confused..

Also, can you burn songs you've downloaded from iTunes onto a CD?

Re: Ipod users: You cannot transfer songs to the XB 360.

If your iPod is plugged into the USB port yes you can play a game and pick songs to play.

As for iTunes to CD> I believe the answer is no, but I dont know for sure.

Yes, you can burn a selected playlist up to 7 times from iTunes protected AAC files. After that, you have to switch the order to get 7 more.

That, right there (burning a CD), is the way around the protected AAC files you get from the iTunes Music Store.

purchase (protected) -> burn CD -> re-rip to AAC or mp3 (non-protected)

It's kind of a clumsy process, but it works.

And you lose sound quality.

Re: Ipod users: You cannot transfer songs to the XB 360.

but, you can still burn a CD in iTunes like any other program. yeah, you do lose sound quality in the re-rip, but the encoding to CD is just like the rest.
