How do you download music to an Xbox 360?

Answer 1

All you need to do is insert any music CD into your Xbox 360's disc drive as you would any game or movie. If your 360 is set to auto load anything inserted into the CD Drive then it will load the media player and begin playing your CD or select it from dashboard as you would any game or DVD. You will notice it says Rip Disc/CD click that and you can choose the songs you'd like by the check boxes or just leave it as in and rip the entire CD.

Remember your hard drive isn't an iPod (space only for media) so this will obviously use up considerable space depending on how many cds you plan on ripping to your hard drive that would otherwise be used for saves, demos, or any other xbox live downloadable content.

As far as I know you can not rip to memory cards. You can play music in any game by pressing the dashboard button on your controller then scrolling over to music and load it that way.

Also, a little tip:

If you want to avoid manually typing in the Artist, Album, Genre, and all song titles just log into xbox live as you normally would and all that info will be pulled from the net which is a life saver.

It would be even better to setup media sharing from your PC/Laptop and stream it to your xbox, that way you save space and can access it anywhere on any tv in the house from your 360. It's a real nice feature when you are able to stream any .avi, or etc.. movies downloaded from the net or ripped to your PC. I've also notice this up scales video quality dramatically. A 700MB ripped movie on a 52" plasma looks near perfect compaired to watching on your computer monitor.

Just look up media sharing with Windows Media Player to Xbox 360, it's a very simple process.

My apologies to the previous posted for rewriting.

Answer 2

It depends on what you use to listen to your music. If you own CD's then the answer is Yes. You put the CD in and you get options to Burn or Listen (I'm sure their are more but I dont have my Xbox on.) But if you are talking about an Ipod (Not sure about an Mp3) then No, the Xbox will not read your Ipod, but you can charge it off of your console. Hope this helped.
