Portable Device Problems! (MP3 player)

Gadz · 08-16-2007, 11:21 PM

Hi all,

I just had a though of plugging in my portable device player. I plugged it in and went to portable device player however, it couldnt recognise/ plau any music. I own a Sony NWA-1000 MP3 player. I plugged it in using the USB cable for it (one end into mp3 then the usb end into xbox. However, i cannot see why it couldnt recognise any of the music. It had alot of different catergories when i went onto it which looked very confusing and said it had no songs in there???

please help, Gadz

well i haven't tried any mp3player on the xbox.. but i have a 80 Giga HD connected... having all my music played from... also i tried to use a memory stick on it and it works fine.

Try those before MP3 player... might his software is confusing the box

Did you make sure to select "removable device" (or whatever it's called, I can't remember exactly)? Just asking the obvious first.

Some mp3 players just dont work with the 360 & some that do work only work if you have the correct firmware drivers on the mp3 player, although it never worked with mine even when i had that on, (i had a creative).

Yea, my 360 recognized my Creative Zen Vision M, but it didn't recognize my Creative Zen V Plus...Stupid.

I've had the same problem with my music player only playing the first five seconds of the song then going on to the next one. Mine is an RCA H100A. if you guys have heard of any fixes or such, please tell!
