« on: July 13, 2005, 02:24:00 AM »

It should be possibe, but if u use this make sure u have no music on it and that u have a way to restore it back to an ipod shuffle because when it is hooked up to the xbox it formats and changes the file system of the disk so when u plug it back into windows it will not be recognized the same, but if u still persist

Just follow this tutorial as if the shuffle is a normal usb stick

QUOTE
You can use an MP3 player as an xbox memory card, and it could work very well, just expect not to use it again to listen to your new Green Day album. It's because the way that the player if formatted: For example, you format you player to the FATX file system (the type on your Xbox), but, usually, your MP3 player maybe on a FAT to FAT32 file system, and you might not know which one. So, if you don't know what system to put it on. and if you use Windows XP, it will usually only allow you to format it to FAT or FAT32. So, IF you screw up the way you format it, you could be down $150 to $400. So, i wouldn't recommend using an MP3 player or any other USB storage device that has any other purpose than a storage device. This includes MP3 players, PDA's, gaming systems, GPS modules, etc.


Dont do it:)

I used an MP3 player once for a softmod (before i'd read any of this!) and i had no problems getting it to work as it should again.

Maybe i was just very lucky  :P

I used my 512MB shuffle to transfer the splintercell exploits and it worked just fine ;)

Yes, it erased everything.. but that's not of much importance to me because once you put it back in your mac/pc you just reformat and copy your songs back.. iTunes takes care of it automatically ;)
