you can burn cd's with 74min. worth of mp3's with memorex cd-rw's

Ahh ok. I was under the impression you had to mod the Xbox for it to read CDRs or CDRWs. Isn't this how they prevent pirated games from working? Or does it work without modding?

The Xbox reads CDRW's just fine without any problems. It has problems with CDRs those. However, there are some brands that work.

The Xbox will not read MP3 files. You can use CD-RW's burned with WAV files, so basically about 15 to 20 songs per disk.

Hmm, so "MP3" support isn't exactly true. Isn't that odd that it supports more expensive CD-RW and not CD-R? Hopefully you don't have to finalize the CD-RW...

It looks like I'm going to have to wait until well after Christmas to get an Xbox or PS2. Perhaps we'll see a price decrease on both systems after the holidays!

At this point, I'm definitely considering the Xbox.

What I do is gather up all my CD's and just rip the best tracks from each of them. The Xbox can hold tons of songs (I heard 82 hours) due to the windows format (asf) used instead of MP3. I just keep adding and adding songs each time.
Playing PGR, MotoGP, Amped, etc. using your custom soundtrack definitely makes the experience much more enjoyable. BTW, 80's music rocks for racing games, esp Boney M.

Playstation 2! Especially with Gran Turismo 3, and of course, you can't forget GTA3 and GTA: Vice City!!!

sorry, what I do is use winamp's converter plug-in to change the mp3's to .wma files, then use easy cd creator FINALIZED and burn 74 min's worth of now wma's to a memorex cd-rw. aftereards, maybe after a couple of attempts, the xbox will read them fine...i just did it twice today
