how to put Mp3s onto XBOX
Or only withwaves? I don't know if there exists a thread for this, but the search engine isn't exactly stellar. Can't really find anything specific

Musinc onto XBox
In my experiance, most CD-R's can't be read by the XBox, however, quite a few CD-RW's can be. What I would do, is buy a CD-RW, then using your PC, burn the MP3's as CD Audio to the CD (This is extremely easy with Nero), put it in the XBox, and it should start playing the music automatically. At the bottom, should be an option to "copy". Select that, enter a playlist name, select the tracks to copy and enjoy. Just erase the disc and start over.

Somewhere out there in internet-land is a list of CD-R/RWs that the Xbox can read. No idea where it is, though. Back when I was putting all my mp3s on my Xbox, I would just use any mp3-to-cd burner (one that converts the files to .cd(?) format), stick it in my Xbox and rip them.

If you have MP3s you have to convert them to wav files and burn them as an audio cd. The CD-R has to work in the Xbox as well. You can't directly copy mps or windows media files onto the xbox.

I'm very confused
So I can only use certain CD-R and CD-RWs right? But I can only rip WAV files? Meaning, I can't get mp3s onto the XBOX because I can only rip WAV files. Unless, the XBOX encodes into MP3 format.

Yes, remember that xbox reads audio cd's, not data cd's. So remember to burn in audio mode instead of data mode.

As a side note, is anyone miffed that you cannot insert a music CD and have the XBox look up the CD information from an online CD database so that track information is automatically entered? This seems such a trivial task, but yet Microsoft did not see fit to add it.

In Nero, there is a selection screen that pops up and all you do is pick audio cd, then drag and drop whatever mp3's/wav's you want to copy. Then it converts those files to audio tracks and burns.
In CDRwin, all you do is goto load tracks and select the appropriate mp3's/wav's then start recording..
I only use the 2 above programs but I believe that Easy CD Creator is similar to Nero where you select what type of cd you are creating.
mytzplyx, as long you burn your music files into the above format, then the xbox will read it.

Ok,lemme know if I got this right:
SHort of modding my XBOX, I can only put big wav files on them. No compressed mp3 formatted music though, right?

So you sure you understand now right?
You aren't restricted to only use wav files on your audio cd. You can put mp3's on it to.
What happens when you are creating an AUDIO CD is that the mp3's you select are converted to cd audio format. So it's not actually putting the MP3 onto the cd. It's recording in MODE 2. And you're not limited by space of the cd-r. You're limited by how many minutes the cd-r holds (such as 74 or 80 minutes).
But when you are creating an MP3 CD, you are creating an DATA cd. Not an audio cd.
