I found it very tedious to rename tracks that i just ripped to the xbox hard drive using the onscreen keyboard...

a quicker way is to do this..

open default.xip/music.xap

scroll down till u reach this..

CODE

DEF theMusicMenu Level
{      

scroll down a little more till u see this...

CODE

 control Joystick
    {
        function OnADown()
        {
            var c = theMusicMenu.children[0].children[0];
            c.MU_select_pod_HL.children[0].appearance.material.param = 1;
            PlaySoundA();
            if(musicCount > 0)
            {
                theMusicPlayMenu.GoTo();
                theMusicSubMenuIn.Play();
            }
        }                

and right below this paste the following code..

CODE

  function OnYDown()
       {

          var nSoundtrack = musicSelect - 1;
          var  strCurSoundTrack = theMusicCollection.GetSoundtrackName(nSoundtrack);
         AskQuestion("Are you sure you want to auto-rename the " + strCurSoundTrack + " tracks \nfrom the uix.ini file ? ", "theMusicInline.children[0].DoAutoRename()","",1);

        }

NEXT .. look for this function...

CODE

function HandlePlayerEditMenu()
{  

and directly above this paste this new function...

CODE

function DoAutoRename()
{
    var newArtistName;
    var nSoundtrack = musicSelect - 1;
    var IniFile = new Settings;
    IniFile.SetIniSection( "SoundTrack Rename" );
    var numTracks = IniFile.GetIniValue( "num_songs" );
    var numTrack_i =  ReturnInteger(numTracks);
    var artistName = IniFile.GetIniValue("artist_name");

    for (var k=0; k < numTrack_i; k = k + 1)
    {  var t = k + 1;
       var cur_t_name = IniFile.GetIniValue("track_" + t);
         if (artistName == "misc")
          {
            cur_t_name = cur_t_name;
          }
          else
          {
            cur_t_name = artistName + "-" + cur_t_name;
          }

      theMusicCollection.SetSongName(nSoundtrack, k, cur_t_name);


    }

       IniFile.CloseIniFile();
       TellUser("Track naming complete"," theMusicInline.children[0].theMusicMenu.GoTo();");
}

save... reinsert , ftp , reboot.

NOW . for the uix.ini file...

u have to edit your uix.ini like this...

if you copied  four tracks from a cd and you want to rename the tracks

CODE

[SoundTrack Rename]
num_songs=4
artist_name=John Mayer
track_1=Daughters
track_2=Bigger than my Body
track_3=Clarity
track_4=Wheel

save your uix file...

now go to the music menu..
highlight the soundtrack that you just put information in the uix.ini file for..
and press the Y button..

a menu will pop up and ask you if you want to rename the files for the specified  soundtrack... click yes.. and you will see a confirmation message saying that the tracks were renamed.

so if you were to do it for another soundtrack.. edit the uix.ini file to suit..

also if you copied a mix cd with different artists , just put misc as the artist name and name your tracks like ...

CODE

artist_name=misc
track_1=Prodigy-Breathe

etc..
 
that should about do it..
