I own an Xbox 360. My entire mp3/aac library is accessible via my 360, and the fullscreen visualizations on my 50" plasma are awesome in HD. And it worked out of the box without much issue the first time I turned it on...the moment I installed WMP11 on my PC that is. Oh, and a codec that allows it to see my iTunes library. And another codec that allows it to see the id3 info embedded in those files. Sometimes. And - woops - doesn't play FLAC or Ogg? And I can't save playlists on it unless the media is actually on the 360's own hard drive? Well that would be fine and dandy if the anemic hdd wasn't a crappy 20 gig.. *grumble* The Xbox is a mediocre media server front end at best, IMHO. I still prefer my Squeezebox over the 360 for music. Video is kind of cool on the 360, though...if it's in WMV format that is. *grumbles* -- EnochLight ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EnochLight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31324 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
