okay, i'll admit this, i have no clue what to do about putting my freaking music onto my xbox.. what i did first was converted all of my mp3's to wma's. that took all of 4 freaking hours.. and now when i try to transfer those over to my xbox i just get about 4 or 5 actual songs on my xbox and then get about 10 errors saying "couldn't open file for writing, error #123".. and i'm not sure why the hell i can't load my music on there... it appears to nott like "()"'s "_"'s or "-"'s.. but there is no way i can go through 800 songs and get rid of all of those... so.. what am i doing wrong? (please no flamin'... honestly i did search, but i couldnt' find anything relevant) anyways..

Are you doing this for soundtracks, or just FTPing them over to be played with XBMC?

well i'm just trying to play them in XBMC, but it's so wierd.. some files are loaded, and other aren't.. yesterday i made a small playlist for GTA:SA and put it on there. but what's the use of music if you can't play it when you wanna

As of 2005-05-22 XBMC have FATX renaming built into it´s ftp server!

so i was right! but damn dude, thanks .. 877

First off, you don't need anything to be in WMA to play in XBMC. Ever. Secondly, it sounds like your MP3s might be named in a way that's inconsistent with the FATX requirements. Try running High Fiber on a copy of your MP3 directory, with the "auto kill bad characters" and "scan subdirectories" boxes checked. If something pops up, shorten the file name to something less than 40 characters.

what he sayed should work.
