Ok, I tried it again. I converted all the music and made the mindex folder on my PC but then just copied it over via USB using file explorer in FSD. The files are there. The only problem I have now is : it crashes if I put too many files to convert to a mindex folder. I don't know why. Does anyone know if there's something I can do to minimize the chance of crash? Like, maybe using WMAs already and not letting the program do the conversion?

Yeah, I did all that. In fact, the Music Organiser was even able to backup the original mindex for me. But the MS XBOX stock dashboard music player refuses to see songs even the FSD sees the files in the mindex folder. So I can't make playlists for use in the sports games. This is so ridiculous that I have to burn 6 discs to get all the tracks I want on there because even though they're only 30 seconds long, you can't burn a CD with more than 100tracks.

Well, I tried. It doesn't work. Placed in the mindex folder in the 360's HDD folder, it still doesn't see the music. That program is really difficult to understand.

Thanks! I'm gonna try to use the program to convert ALL the song clips. I'm gonna copy them over, then I'm gonna hope I can make playlists of the ones I want when they're all on the 360. No idea if that would work.

Ok, I understand but I still don't get how to take my regular MP3 files and place them in Music Organizer so that it turns them into WMAs. This isn't explained at all in the instructions. It only talks about FMIM music files which I have never heard of. No idea what they're talking about. Maybe it's just easier if I say what I want to do... I've got about 300 audio clips that I want in about 5 different playlists for different hockey games. The playlists correspond to different in game cues. I just burned 99 of them to a CD-RW and got them on the console, the problem is they have no names which isn't terrible, but when the next ones are ripped to the 360 they will also be labelled Track 01 to Track 99 and write over the previous ones. I just wish this program would facilitate this. Now, I can put all 300 clips in the Organizer program but how do I get them to be on different playlists?

I don't mind the music on there being ruined, what's there needs replacing anyway, which is why I'm doing this in the first place. What I don't get is that if it doesn't need to connect then how are you supposed to get the files onto the 360? You just FTP that folder over? Also, do you have any idea what FMIM files are? That's not a music container I've ever heard of.

Can't even get it to connect. Should I be in freestyle or the stock 360 dash?

No this isn't about "listening" to music while I play (which I've never understood to be honest) this is about putting music on the 360 to use in sports games that let you assign stadium music to different moments.

Surely there is a better way to get music on the 360 for use in sports games than burning discs every time. Is there no way to do this with FTP or even from a USB flash drive?

Hey, thanks. I appreciate it. I don't have that skin but I think I have the same feature. I was just certain that some of my games have updates but aren't showing up there. Just thought there might be some app to install on the console but I guess not. Consequently, where do you get skins from?

Ok, is there a guide here for how to get the updates from the unity site to the console? What I meant by homebrew is whether there is some application that can be loaded inside the dash that can get updates automatically while on the 360.

Ok, well everything worked. Thanks for the help, guys. Well, looking around on Youtube it looks like "stealth" is just people playing online multiplayer. I have no interest in that. I play sports games, offline only, by myself. I'm boring. But this "unity" I need to learn about. Until now I was only using the function built into the custom dash. Is there homebrew that accesses it directly?

I definitely do not want to break any rules here, so I hope you can answer, but could you maybe explain what "stealth" would be? Going online to play with a modded console? Or something more than that? What about just getting game updates?

Oh, I saw that, but that unofficial one is ok? Why is it unofficial?

I tried following a youtube guide I had used before that does it this way. But the problem was that I couldn't find a version of xebuild that had 17511 on it. Is there one that I missed?

By, the directions, you mean the five steps where you say, " Try using the updserv option. ", correct? Do I first follow the tutorial that person was following, or just your five steps? I'm getting this: --------------------------------------------------------------- xeBuild v1.18.800 --------------------------------------------------------------- ---- { Update Mode } ---- setting forced IP to 192.168.X.XX attempting forced connection to 192.168.X.XX...success! connected to Trinity with updsvr version 2 (peek version 2) *****ERROR: updsvr on console needs to be updated! ***** FATAL UPDATE ERROR: unable to parse info reply from console!

Took some time to find a free moment for this. I've got an rgh system. Kernel: 2.0.16756.0 Console type: 360 S

Well, I wasn't suggesting that I wanted to waste anyone's time. I was asking exactly what you said, what info would be helpful to get help from others. My point was exactly to NOT waste anyone's time. I'll put that stuff together.

I haven't updated my system in about two years so I don' t know where I stand with firmwares and so on. What information can I provide about my system to get help figuring out if there's anything I need to update, new developments I should have installed, etc? Thanks!

Updated the dash to the latest and I was able to disable the cloud storage. Weird.

Hmmm. Maybe I should try it. Anything broken in it?

Ugh.. that seems annoying. I don't understand because I'm not even connected when I see this problem.

I'm hoping updating the dash and adding the avatar fix will prevent further crashes. But what exactly is the difference between "FSD" and "F3"?

I just checked my launch.ini file and there are no plugins in it... ; example plugin entry ; plugin1 = Usb:\plugin\aplugin.xex [Plugins] plugin1 = plugin2 = plugin3 = plugin4 = plugin5 =

That doesn't seem to work because when I try to disable background downloads, it tells me I have to first disable cloud storage in cloud storage device options. The problem is that I don't have cloud storage activated and besides that, "cloud storage" doesn't have a device options button on my system.
