About to buy an Xbox, is it possible to play WMA music files on them? either off a CD or the HDD. What is involved?

Cheers!

Yes you can, you need to be able to run XBMP (Xbox Media Player).

Theres loads to explain about it (need a modchip, run XBMP off CD-RW or hard disk) but it would take me ages to type so...

www.xbox-scene.com and dont forget the forums aswell.

Oh and DJ Dunk may have a few things to tell you ;)

Yep :) A couple of ways.

1) Put tunes on a CD-RW in audio format and rip them to the HDD using the MS Dashboard. The original MS Dashboard stores the files in 128kbps 16-bit WMA format. You can then play the tunes in some games.

2) Chip the Xbox and use XBox Media Player to playback wma, mp2, avi, ogg, etc.

LOL, beat me to it Dave :D

Just the other boring way (1) :)
