Xbox Games Won't Play My Music
« on: November 02, 2009, 03:45:00 AM »

You cannot just FTP wma's over to the xbox HD and expect the games to utilize them. All tracks must either be copied from disc using the MS dash, or sent to the xbox HD using special software that can properly build an xbox "soundtrack".

The reason is because the xbox has a file named st.db in the music directory that is like a "registry" for tracks ripped onto the HD using the MS dash. When tracks are FTP'd to the HD, they are not included in this .db file and so the MS dash doesn't know they are there and games do not see them.
