| Listen to MusicThe Xbox 360 music player is a feature of the Xbox Dashboard that manages your music listening from virtually any source, whether audio CD, MP3 or WMA music files (from CD, DVD, or Xbox 360 Hard Drive), or any number of connected devices, including portable audio players and even your PC. Use the Xbox 360 Music PlayerTo listen to music from an audio CD, put a disc in your Xbox 360 console and playback will begin automatically. If you want to listen to music from a different source, you can select it in the Music Library. To listen to music using the Xbox 360 music player: - Go to My Xbox and open Music Library.
- Select the music source you want to listen to.
- Sort and view your available music on the selected music source by different criteria like albums, artists, saved playlists, songs, and genres.
Press X to view full-screen, full-color, high-definition visualizations (depending on your video connection) while you listen. Press Y to return to the Music Player screen. Manage PlaylistsOnce you've selected a music source and music files to play, you can load this music into the Xbox 360 music player. To create a playlist in the Xbox 360 music player: - Go to My Xbox and open Music Library.
- Select the music source and album, artist, playlist, song, or genre that you want to hear.
- Follow the directions on the screen to create a new playlist or add to an existing playlist.
Note If you're adding songs to an existing playlist, selecting Play Album (song/artist/playlist/genre) will clear your existing playlist and create a new one composed exclusively of your current selection. Be sure to select Add to Current Playlist instead. To change or save a playlist on the Music Player screen, select Edit or Save Playlist. Playlists that draw from external devices such as portable audio players and PCs can't be saved. You can only save playlists that reference audio files residing on your Xbox 360 Hard Drive. |
