I'm sure this has been asked before, but the search engine is only on at 4 in the morning over here and I can't stay up that late.....

I moved my ever growing music file from the E: drive to the F: drive. How do I make the changes....or where....in MXM so it will look for the music file on the F: drive for background music?

Thanks,

straight from the user guide....

QUOTE

Music node configuration items <Config> Main node of the file* <Music> Settings for soundtrack control. It is suggested that you let the Skin file control these settings.   <UseMusic> Defaults to “True”, if “False” turns off soundtrack playback for MXM. <Directory> Defines the location for the music tracks to be added to the local soundtrack. <Global> If set to “True”, it will add the Xbox soundtracks to the set of musical tracks to be played back. <Random> If set to “True” it enables random playback. If “False” the tracks will be played back from start ot finish, starting with the “local” soundtrack.

soo....in your MXM.XML

Between this -> <Config>
and This ------></Config>


add the following (edit to your preference):

QUOTE

<Music>     <UseMusic>True</UseMusic>     <Directory>F:\Your Music Is Here</Directory>     <Global>True</Global>     <Random>True</Random>   </Music>

Hmmm....I can't get it to work...this is exactly what I put:

<Config>
<Main>
<DiscTitle>Media X Menu</DiscTitle>
<DiscSubtitle>Matrix Test Configuration</DiscSubtitle>
<SkinsPath>C:\Skins</SkinsPath>
<RemoveDuplicates>True</RemoveDuplicates>
<RemoveInvalid>True</RemoveInvalid>
</Main>
<Network>
<UseDHCP>false</UseDHCP>
<IP>192.168.0.3</IP>
<DNS1>0.0.0.0</DNS1>
<DefaultGateway>192.168.0.1</DefaultGateway>
<SubnetMask>255.255.255.0</SubnetMask>
</Network>
<Preferences>
<FTPPriority>highest</FTPPriority>
<SynchronizeClock>false/SynchronizeClock>
<Nickname>Dman's Xbox</Nickname>
</Preferences>
<Overrides>
</Overrides>
<FTPServer>
<User>
<Name>xbox</Name>
<Password>xbox</Password>
</User>
</FTPServer>
<Music>
<UseMusic>True</UseMusic>
<Directory>F:\Music\tHc-Data\music</Directory>
<Global>True</Global>
<Random>True</Random>
</Music>
</Config>

Any suggestions? I'm sure I'm makeing a stupid mistake but I can't see where....

Uggg....I can't understand...I've been messing with trying everything I can. The MXM.xml file goes on the C: drive, correct? Do I need to do anything extra(for instance like with the Menu.xml reset Cache) after I change the MXM.xml file? It's like the MXM.xml doesn't have any effect on the Dashboard. Do I need to erase the ST.DB file in the music folder since I changed directories? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

EDIT: If anyone is trying this also don't go about the MXM.xml way. Use Uedit, or a binary editing program of such, and just edit the .XBE file doing a search for the fffe0000 folder. Change everything that comes up with the findings of ffffe0000/music(shouldn't be but two findings) to Partion6(if you are using F: drive) and set the path to your new music folder path.
