Support NeoGAF

Alright, so i have a SanDisk M230 mp3 player that I bought during black friday and for some reason the songs wont play on my 360. It reads that a portable deivce is plugged in but when I hit the play button nothing happens. I've tried looking for people having the same problem but no dice.

Anyway for me to find out if I have a compatible mp3 player for this damn system?

it doesnt support my sony hd5 or my sony nw-a3000 20gbs. only seems to support ipods and psps and a few others

On XBOX.COM they have all the players listed.

I have a 5G iPod and it works fine. I only wish I could extract tunes over to the 360

But seriously, it's not that great of a feature without the ability to transfer songs over. I really don't like the idea of my iPod being plugged in for hours and hours.

Leave a huge capacity thumb drive in and it's just like an MP3 hard drive. That's what I do.

You can only rip songs off audio CDs.

That would require letting you just dump files on the hard drive, which would lead to hacking/modding stuff.

I bought a 5G iPod a month before the 360, so I use that on a daily basis and leave my old 4G iPod plugged into the 360

The way i read your post is that you hit the play button on your mp3 player and if you did so you are wrong (of course you probably did not do that and I am not helping you out at all)...

That's what it sounds like to me too.

Just to be sure, make sure you bring up the dashboard, move the cursor down to "Select Music" and hit A on that. Wait for your USB device to be detected (or not), select it from the list of "Music Sources" and you should be able to access songs on your MP3 player.

If that is what you're doing, then I'm just an ass.

i did it on the dashboard, so I'm sure that I was doing it correctly.

But none of that matters as my player is not compatible with the 360...guess I'll have to burn some CD's.

does anyone know if iaudios work?

Using your Mp3 player to play custom soundtracks would be awesome if you didn't have to wait a minute each time for it to re-reconize the USB device every single time you want to change playlist/song while in a game. Works fine on the dashboard however....

10 seconds max

The general rule of thumb seems to be that if your player is recognised as a storage device by your OS when you plug it in then it will work on the 360.

~35 seconds in PDZ, DOA4, and PGR3. I just timed.

Ipod 5th Gen (Video) 60 GB.

I just stream it off my pc. Took like 2 seconds to setup. Don't want to kill my iPod while playing games. It gets enough use during the rest of the day.

Yeah, I think this is pretty annoying too. My other issue is with the 100 song limit.

Exactly. If you have one of these devices that requires drivers to be installed, then it's not going to work.
